Newman Landscaping Party

  • Prince of Peace Catholic Newman Center 4502 20th Avenue Northeast Seattle, WA, 98105 United States (map)

Help tidy up and beautify our beloved Newman Center! This one day of service saves Newman the tremendous cost of hiring a landscaping contractor and is like giving the center a $15-20,000 donation! To get everything done, we would need about 20 people, so ask your friends! 

Let us know you’re coming, by rsvp-ing HERE

Try to bring your own gloves (though we have spare ones to lend), water bottle, hat, & sunscreen. Also, try to wear pants due to thorns, and maybe even a spare pair to change into in case you do some pressure washing.

Tasks: trim hedges, remove leaves, weed, pressure wash. If we have the numbers ... transplant a few trees, remove dead cedars, plant new trees, trim other trees, mulch flower beds, & pressure wash.

Come for either the morning, afternoon, or both. We’ll have coffee and pastries in the morning to much on at your leisure, and a delicious free lunch (we’ll take a survey around 11am to see what people would like, but either nice sandwiches, or pizza, or both). 

PS. Please avoid parking at Newman since we will be doing leaf removal there. Parking Lot N5 is only a 5 min walk away.
