Englewood volunteers plan Bayard Park planting party; small "green library" installed at Inglewood Rec Center
Summary
Commissioners reported a Bayard Park native-plant demonstration garden planting event planned for Memorial Day weekend and described a new Little Free Green Library at the Inglewood Recreation Center that promotes sustainability resources and hosted a Compost Colorado tabling event.
Tracy Sabina, a commission member, said the Bayard Park project funded by a neighborhood grant will host planting activities on Memorial Day weekend and she has lined up a band for a public planting party. "It's gonna be Sunday and Monday...Sunday the 20-something, Memorial Day weekend," she said; exact dates and times will be distributed to commission members and posted to the event flyer.
Tracy also described a native-plant demonstration garden installed in phases at Bayard Park: the area has been covered with mulch to suppress grass and will be planted in the spring as part of an ongoing grant project.
Separately, Tracy reported that the commission and partners implemented a second "green library" at the Inglewood Recreation Center. The Little Free Green Library focuses on sustainable resources, contains seeds, and was launched alongside a tabling event with Compost Colorado. Staff reported positive resident engagement and comment cards praising the resource.
Ending Commissioners encouraged outreach and signage; Tracy said she would circulate details and a flyer for Bayard Park volunteers and asked commissioners to help publicize both the park event and the green-library resource.
