You don't have to have a garden to get out there and help promote green spaces in Austin. Austin has tons of parks and lots of need for volunteers to help maintain them.
I was just surfing the web looking for projects to volunteer with. I stumbled on the Austin Parks Foundation, which always seems to have projects for improving my favorite spaces. Last year, we donated to the Lou Neff Point brick project on Town Lake Trail. We put my son's name on a brick, thinking it might be exciting for him as he grows older to see his name next to a trail he loves to visit. If you haven't seen the improvements at Lou Neff Point you should definitely check them out. It's such a nice place to sit and take in the view of Town Lake (now, Lady Bird Lake).
Anyway... The Austin Parks Foundation, The Central Texas Trail Tamers and the Friends of Red Bud Isle have another project on Red Bud Isle coming up this weekend.

They need a lot of volunteers to help them take on several ambitious projects on Saturday, December 1. They're going to be removing invasive trees and plants, like ligustrum and chinaberry from along trails, correcting erosion and taking on many other smaller tasks along the trails.
If you're interested, go to www.austinparks.org to read more and RSVP for the project. It takes place from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
