Earth Day with HandsOn Bay Area

We had a great work day on Saturday, April 17 in the Torii Gate Garden with volunteers of all ages.

G@LMED5

The group was comprised primarily of a team from PG&E.

G@LMED9

The major focus of our work was beginning a new stone beach for the pond in the garden.

G@LMED6

Volunteers also did some excavation to install some electric conduit, and general weeding.

G@LMED11

Everyone pitched in and got a lot accomplished.

And there was still time to take a break and check out the gardens’ newest residents– ducklings!
