The Community Shines at Belmont Blooms

The City of Belmont invited residents to tour the Barrett Community Center Garden on Saturday, May 31, 2025 to learn how and when to plant their crops. Participants were guided along stations that were led by Community Garden members, Parks and Recreation staff, and local vendors. Participants had the opportunity to paint their own flower pots, take home a complimentary packet of seeds, and enter a raffle to win big prizes!

MPWD staff volunteers were on hand to share information about water resources and water-efficient landscaping, hand out free giveaways for residents of all ages, and to show off the District’s model of the City of Belmont and the District’s water distribution system!
