Volunteer at Thomas Lowry Park!

Happy Summer! Our usual time to get the park ready for summer was condensed because of the warm weather and the early arrival of the annuals that we ordered in mid-December.

It has been a whirlwind in Thomas Lowry Park — cleanup, plantings, irrigation and the pools turned on.

Thanks to all those who could pitch in with pruning, planting and watering before the irrigation was turned on.

And a big thanks to the Park Board crews for all their work with the pools turned on and the irrigation, which needed repairs and adjusting. The park is beautiful!

Volunteers help maintain Thomas Lowry Park.

On Saturday June 10, we focused on more cleanup, weeding and hanging out with the Harkins Family, who volunteered at the event, before they depart for Dallas.

We do have new gloves and garden tools (rakes, trowels) thanks to a generous donation from the Lowry Hill Neighborhood Association.
