Every “Second Saturday” of the month, residents come together and volunteer on various projects from picking up litter to building-up community spaces or working in our neighborhood parks.
Join us on May 14th, at 10 am for the "Rededication of the St Roch Chapel" in the St Roch Cemetery.
We will attend the service inside the chapel at 10am, and then move to the neutral ground to plant flowers right outside the cemetery. The City of New Orleans Parks & Parkways are donating colorful Vinca flowers!
We will have FREE donuts, drinks and "flower-bombs" (wildflower seeds in a soil ball)! You can take these flower-bombs with you and toss them in an empty field or the grassy strip between the sidewalk and curb - and wait for the surprise wildflowers to bloom! FSRIA and Woven Roots are donating the soil and seeds for our flower-bombs!
We will provide tools and gloves. Please dress appropriately for a hot and sunny day.
