Date: September 04, 2012
Time: 5:00 - 7:30PM
Spend your first Tuesday of the Month, enjoying a free cookout at 5pm and helping to make our waterways a little cleaner. Help UBB rid Bartram’s Garden’s beautiful property of trash, which was carried down from the Schuylkill River.
Bartram’s Garden the oldest living botanical garden in the country. The property includes a 18th century homestead, wildflower meadow, gardens to stroll through, wetlands, a wooded area and a community garden.
Last summer, UBB held 7 cleanups at Bartram’s Garden and removed a total of 2,538 pounds of trash. Our cleanups are a mix of work and play with one-of-a-kind competitions and giveaways. We'll provide the snacks, fun, supplies, free Bartram's Garden passes, and the gloves. You supply the hands.
We don't want anyone to get left behind, feel free to email us at cleanup@unitedbyblue.com to arrange transportation for individuals or small groups. Have a question the day of the cleanup? Give us a call at 215-642-0693.
