Join Hermann Park Conservancy on Friday, September 11, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. for a meaningful morning of service in Hermann Park. In recognition of the 9/11 National Day of Service and Remembrance, volunteers will unite for good by participating in hands-on projects that help care for and beautify the Park. Projects may include gardening, planting, mulching, litter removal, and other seasonal maintenance activities. Together, we will honor the spirit of service, strengthen our community, and make a lasting impact on one of Houston’s most treasured public spaces. All tools and project instructions will be provided.
