Volunteer garden party planned for Saturday
PROSSER -- Bearing garden tools and work gloves, volunteers will gather Saturday to spruce up the Prosser Community Playground.
Volunteers will work 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the playground, located in City Park on Seventh Street across from Prosser High School.
They meet every year to reseal the wooden playground and perform some landscaping work, such as replanting trees, pulling weeds and replenishing the bark floor.
More hands are welcome. Bring garden tools, gloves and some sanders if you have them, suggests Desiree Mains, a volunteer coordinator.
The playground was built in 2000 by volunteers and paid for by private donations under the direction of a paid engineer.
