In 2023 the area was overgrown with blackberries and invasive non-native plants. Since then, more than 200 new native plants have been introduced, paths laid out, wood chip mulch put down and many other improvements.
More than 50 local volunteers have helped with the area cleanup.
“We have been so lucky to work with the City of Canby Parks Department to get water and Canby High School students to restore this beautiful area,” Kleinke said.
The Canby Garden Club’s meetings are open to everyone. You don’t need to be a member to participate in the free programs.
