We're into the 2nd year of our partnership with the City of San Mateo Parks & Recreation to help maintain the landscaped beds within Beresford Park. In 2019, we adopted the 3 flower beds at the corner of 28th Ave & Fernwood St.
This year, we'll have an opportunity to adopt additional beds utilizing the same organic/drought tolerant approach. We've recently completed a walk-thru of the park with the Parks & Rec Landscape Supervisor and have identified a list of projects that we can pursue with their support. As we adopt new landscape beds, together we'll go through the process of design, soil prep & plant installation. And there are plenty of weeds to pull!
Please put these dates on your calendar and we hope to see you out in the park this Spring:

Please put these dates on your calendar and we hope to see you out in the park this Spring:
- Saturday, February 8th
- Saturday, March 7th
- Saturday, April 4th
- Saturday, May 2nd
For all of the above days, we'll meet at the 28th & Fernwood beds at 9am.
Here are a few FAQ's:
Are children able to participate? Yes - as long as they have a parent with them who is also participating. Note that the activities typically involve pulling weeds or spreading wood chips - generally down on your knees in the dirt - so something to keep in mind in terms of suitability for your child. We're not setup to be able to closely supervise minor children, so as long as they have a parent with them - they are more than welcome to participate.
What should I bring? We have a limited supply of gardening gloves and tools, so if you have your own, please bring them. A bottle of water and snacks are great to keep you going.
How many hours? We'll start at 9am and typically go until noon. Occasionally we have a larger project that may require more time and that will be communicated in advance.
Can my group participate? Absolutely. Please contact Bill S. - bill@growsanmateo.org to coordinate.
