Project Overview
In honor of Earth Day, Berkeley Lab has partnered with The Gardens at Lake Merritt for a service day in the garden! Activities may include projects like weeding, mulching, planting, and other beautification projects!
About Gardens at Lake Merritt
The Gardens at Lake Merritt, a seven-acre collection of themed gardens, is conveniently located in the heart of Oakland at Lakeside Park, our nation’s first wildlife refuge.
Established more than a half-century ago, the Gardens serve as a source of great regional pride, a cultural and educational center, and a place to enjoy tranquility in the heart of the city. The Gardens are poised to serve as an example of the highest standards of horticulture and historic preservation while providing enriching public programs.
