Event Description:

Elizabeth McClintock started the Shakespeare garden by compiling a list of plants named in Shakespeare works. In the late 1980's Steve Silver from Beach Blanket Babylon donated funds for entry gate, promenade and stage. Now this historic and enchanting site needs a small group of volunteer to keep this garden beautiful.

One Brick will be removing debris piles, spreading chips and possibly some sheet mulching.
