Reasons yards become Neglected:

1 Broken Tool
1 Family Illness
1 Heatwave

All 3 of those happened to Metro in August.

When folks ask why MetroGnome spends so much time helping others, they often assume a neglected yard means its owner is lazy. Usually, there are other explanations.

Looking Forward to Cooler Temps, Buzzing Weed-Wackers, and more Gnoming!!

It’s always satisfying to see the Yard Waste piles. Behind every TREEmendous Thursday is a Gnome’s favorite recipe: Community Care, Time spent Tending, and a dash of Hope.

ROUND 2!! Last Saturday Metro and his Gnomies joined teachers from Carver-Washington STEAM Magnet LRSD to clear the ground for its new Outdoor Learning Space! We raked leaves, cleared fallen branches & raised the canopy of the overgrown trees. We worked until we had no more room to haul away the debris.

Come out tomorrow and help us finish the job! BONUS: You'll get to see the finished product! Hope to see you there.

This Gnome always underestimates how much dirt he will need to shovel 🪏
Spent 4 hours prepping this parking lot, so the kiddos at Carver-Washington STEAM Magnet LRSD could put a bounce house on it, for their Back to School Bash. Filled the wheel barrow 7 times today. Still have a little more to do. Stay tuned!!
