Attention Eco Centro Greenthumbs! Starting this Tuesday, September 15 our volunteer mornings will have a focus on our Eco yard pollinator garden. We've let the sunflowers and passion vines take over and now its time for a fall glow up! We will spend the next 4 Tuesdays working on cleaning, reorganizing, and planting in the garden as well as adding in a small water feature for our wild friends.

First session starts at 9am at Eco Centro - join us for all of one of the volunteer mornings. Refreshments provided. Bring a water container, closed toe shoes and a hat!

RSVP at https://forms.cloud.microsoft/r/wn8fTvDHaj or at the volunteer link in our bio!

Its that time of year again so go through those craft closets and clean out any unused craft supplies! Plan to visit with other crafters and stick around for an informative crafting session with Renee where we will make applique's out of left over fabric.

Note: We do not accept drop offs of craft scraps for this event - specifically anything that is considered waste or trash.

Not only do they provide a safe habitat and food for our local wildlife and pollinators but they also work as rain catchment and filtration systems during our rain events!
