When it comes to design inspiration and gravitating to certain color palettes, I'm influenced by the native plants, driftwood and natural terrain along California's Central Coast. It's a privilege to have all of this right outside my doorstep.
On April 14th, My friend and I volunteered at the Locke Paddon Wetland Community Park in Marina. Both of us share the same interest in environmental issues and we represented the Filipino-American Community Club at this event.
The event included native plant restoration, bench & sign cleaning/painting, trail maintenance, and park clean up. It was coordinated by Citizens for Sustainable Marina (C4SM); Return of the Natives (RON); Monterey Peninsula Regional Park District (MPRPD); and Everyone's Harvest.
The volunteers came from Marina and from the rest of the County, many of whom were students at CSUMB and other local schools. Seeing so many people helping out and the incredible sense of comradery was inspiring. I urge everyone to participate at your local Earth Day event. And, for those who have... THANK YOU! :)
Here are a few pics at the event...
A few days later, I took my Dad and dog, Sunshine, back to Locke Paddon Park.
