Plant and Pick-up at East Bay Park

Whether you prefer using a shovel or a trash grabber, join us for a community workday at East Bay Park, where we will be planting flowers and picking up trash.

The occurrence of king tides, or ‘sunny day’ flooding, is becoming a challenge for traditional landscaping practices in our coastal community. In addition, marine debris continues to cause harm to species and habitats. We can create resilient and beautiful spaces by joining efforts to remove litter and plant a flood-resilient gardens using native plants that will be tolerant of flooding and occasional brackish conditions. Help to refill the shrimp trash sculpture and also learn about using native plants to create habitat. Gloves, shovels, trash grabbers and bags will be provided.

This project is being sponsored by the Grand Strand Chapter of the South Carolina Native Plant Society in partnership with the Winyah Master Naturalist Association, the Inlet and Bay Stewards, Keep Georgetown Beautiful, and Songbird Nursery.

The rain date for the Pant and Pick up will be April 6.
