Kempton Park Redesign
If you’ve driven by Kempton Park (3102 Kempton) recently, you’re seen that things are changing. Much of the existing landscaping has been removed and the ground is being prepared for an exciting new design. Our friends at Back To Natives have designed a native landscape and along with them, the RCSD, RHA, and Eagle Scout candidate Owen Pearce are revitalizing the park.
Funding for this redesign project is coming from the RHA, RCSD, and the funds raised by Owen as part of his Eagle Project.
A Taste of Italy Spaghetti Fundraiser
Owen and his family are opening the doors to their home to raise funds to support his Eagle Project at Kempton Park. On Saturday April 23rd, from Noon until 8:00 PM, you can help Owen and his project at Kempton Park by getting your share of a Taste of Italy. For a donation of just $10, enjoy spaghetti, salad, garlic bread and dessert all while supporting a great project for Rossmoor. Grab your flyer and RSVP today!
Native Plant Workshop
Back To Natives, the primary designers of our Kempton Park native landscape are putting on a free native plant workshop to show us the native plant layout and answer any questions we may have about the design and most importantly, about native plants. This hands on Workshop is for residents of Rossmoor and the surrounding area. Get the flyer for workshop details.
Native vegetation requires less water and maintenance, and no fertilizer or pesticides. Native plants attract butterflies and birds. Join native plant landscape professional Reginald Durant for a day of discussion and hands-on activities – help us plant the park! We promise you’ll learn while having fun.
If you are the least bit interested in knowing more about native plants, take advantage of one of the two workshops being held at Kempton Park on Saturday May 7th. The first workshop starts at 10:00 AM and the second begins at 2:00 PM.
All you have to do is RSVP here. The workshop is free but space is limited. Don’t miss your chance please sign up today!
