This week’s East Cobb On the Spot feature is the East Cobb Park Garden and Nature Club, which was founded last year by the Friends for the East Cobb Park volunteer organization that offers programming and provides support for the Cobb County PARKS-run park on Roswell Road.
The club meets the second Saturday of every month in the upper pavilion, and on Saturday group leader Lyn Cohen met with several others to discuss projects for 2024.
The group is charged with beautification of the park, and last year planted some natural plant and perennial flower beds.
This year Cohen wants to add an educational component to the club’s work and on Feb. 24 will be holding a winter sowing event that’s free and open to the public.
Guests will learn how to seed a variety of vegetables and flowers in milk jugs, then transfer them to the ground as the spring rolls around.
The club also changed its name to include “nature” as it aims to highlight the native wonders of the 20-acre park, which marked its 20th anniversary in 2023.
“I love plants and I love to teach how they can make your lives better,” Cohen said.
She explains more about what the club is about in the video below, followed by photos provided by the club of some of the plants and vegetation all around the park.
