Our recent Washed Ashore Event!

♻️

03/05/2026

Our meeting this week will an all hands on deck work day! We have many ideas we have been bouncing around for how we would like to decorate our display case in the first floor hallway!

To make these ideas possible we need as many hands as possible regardless of how crafty you think you are (or aren't).

Join us this Thursday for a gallery walk at the public library!

The exhibit is only up for a limited time and is free to view for everyone but EcoBods will be making a big group trip so we can all experience the amazing art!

We will be meeting at the Topeka Shawnee County Public Library so we can go in as a group. Reach out to the GroupMe if you need a ride or if you're willing to drive for the carpool.

This week we will be hosting a plant propagation party!

You can either bring your own plants (or cuttings) otherwise we will have plenty of plants to keep everyone busy!

These plants will be for our annual plant sale for Earth Day. Each year we have a table or two filled with these plant starters waiting for a new good home. Payment for the plants is whatever you decide it should be. We will have jars on the tables!

On top of our plant propagation party Washburn University Day of Giving is coming up and if you are interested in donating or just want to read about the Native Plant Garden that Ecobods has worked on the past few years we invite you to look at this think. Donations open up 02/05/2026 and we appreciate any and all donations!

We loved the experience of touring The Giving Tree and learning about their message!

Big thanks to Washburn’s Eco-Bods for touring The Giving Tree! 🌿
We loved sharing how thrifting keeps items out of landfills, reduces waste, and directly helps local families through our voucher program! 💚
