Weed Out Warrior Do you have an interest in flowers and gardening? The City of Orem Parks department is assembling a team of volunteers known as Weed Out Warriors to adopt flower beds at various locations in Orem. There are currently seven beds up for adoption. The adoption period begins every Spring and ends every Fall. All plant material will be provided. This would be a great summer project for a family or group of friends. Many Weed Out Warriors check on their flower beds while walking their dogs or while taking a leisurely stroll through the park. You can work at your own pace and choose a schedule that best suits you. Whether you choose to work individually or in a group setting, your efforts will contribute to the beautification of your city. As a Weed Out Warrior you will receive a short training session on the proper care of your flower bed. You will also receive a T-shirt with the Weed Out Warrior logo, trash bags, and a pair of gloves.
