Se7en + 1 Help to Plant an Urban Park with GreenPop…

Two weeks from now I won’t be sitting at my desk writing a blog post… I will have traveled across Southern Africa and will settling into a week of working in Zambia with Greenpop. Exciting times indeed. This past week our family joined the Greenpop team and helped to create an urban park, on what was a pile of rubble beside the highway at the start.

If you would like to see a video of the work GreenPop does in Zambia, then… here you go:

Otherwise here is a link to photos of the park we helped to plant earlier this week. It was fabulous fun day and I have a feeling my gang is sold on this kind of project… good physical work in the great outdoors greening our world, one small urban park at a time.
