Help continue to grow the Emerson Avenue Community Garden at Orville Wright Middle School. The work will include expanding the existing school garden beds, planting trees, and breaking ground on the traditional plot style community garden.
The Emerson Avenue Community Garden at OWMS will be a space for school students and community members to grow food, gather with friends, and enjoy the great outdoors. The Garden is being installed by the community over a series of work days.
Come join the fun!

As part of our Day Without a Bag initiative the Day Without a Bag Summit will instruct municipalities and community leaders on the ins and outs of creating a bag reduction policy.
The Summit will help cities understand the essential elements in moving forward with a bag ban such as addressing legal and economic issues and choosing the right partners. We will also explore lessons learned from the County of Los Angeles and other communities as they share experiences with their bans. Also community activists can learn how to encourage their cities to take steps towards passing a model single use bag ordinance.
The Summit will also be offered via webcast in order to support our state wide partners. To participate in this webcast, you must RSVP by Tuesday December 14th at noon. RSVP / request information online or call 310.451.1500 x116.
