In 2013, Walter Heath co-founded Morro Bay in Bloom as a public benefit organization to rehabilitate Morro Bay's parks, plazas, and other prized spaces.  Morro Bay in Bloom's "come when you can" model of friendly volunteer engagement in bite-size, two-hour sessions has caught on with people who are experienced gardeners as well as those having little to no gardening and landscaping skills.  The friendly, social nature of Morro Bay in Bloom's gardening sessions has built a community of people currently giving a whopping 5,000 hours per year to the City of Morro Bay. Walter will be talking about current and future Morro Bay in Bloom projects, and how Newcomers' members might choose to become involved in this deeply satisfying community benefit organization.
