Join us for a presentation exploring the rich history and collaborative efforts of Summit Metro Parks and the Akron Garden Club (AGC). You’ll learn about similarities in our history, shared projects and the story behind the creation of the Valley View Area, including the native gardens planted among the newly opened river amenities. AGC will be giving away free potted native plants and a special bookmark designed by AGC member and local artist Tina Musci (quantities are limited to the first 100 people). Following the presentation, we will hike to the native gardens, which are a testament to our dedication to native plant conservation.
