Gather your friends and family, scout troop and neighbors for a fun, free event. Reminisce on what Coppell looked like as a prairie and do the "buffalo stomp" with the herd of seeders. Enhance the beauty of the trail system of Moore Road Park at Andy Brown East by participating in the wildflower seeding. Volunteers (teens and adults) are needed to help facilitate the event that morning. Pre-registration is not required to participate.
Maps and refreshments will be available at 8:30 a.m. at Helping Hands Garden. This is a self-guided tour of Coppell landscapes and gardens, featuring drought-tolerant native and adapted plants that require minimal irrigation. The tour will showcase five Coppell homes and the two Coppell Community Gardens. Volunteers and homeowners will be available on site to answer questions about gardening using SmartScape techniques. Come see what you should plant now for beautiful blooms next year from the homeowners of some of the most unique landscapes in Coppell. This free tour is easily biked and is a great reason to get out and enjoy the fall weather. Bike route map will be included.
