You are invited to attend Frogtown Gardens Arbor Day Celebration and Pop Up Tree Park inauguration. (see attached flyer) Saturday May 5, 9:30 –noon.  Corner of Dale and LaFond.  Artist Gita will have a table set up for those attending to hammer in messages, make copper charms, add found objects (bring your own charm) or other copper metal pieces onto Thirteen Pots that will line University Avenue. We will plant a diverse mix of bare root native pine into these pots too.  Come one come all:

Gita will provide materials and tools.  Contributed artwork will protect the trees in the harsh construction zone which is full of unspeakable hazards.  We will send them off with well wishes and good juju from you.
