Spring Tending at Holy Trinity Rain Garden

UPDATE: Due to weather this event has been postponed to Sunday, April 26th, at 1pm.
Come help us tend to one of the most established community eco gardens in Blair County. Since we began our work in 2023, countless adults and youth have lent a hand to this project. Because of that collective effort, we have seen a beautiful increase in wildlife diversity with every passing year.
We will begin the session with a guided tour of the rain garden to witness the incredible progress of our native species. You will get an up-close look at American plums, pawpaws, serviceberries, elderberries, and aroniaberries, along with raspberries, blueberries, and dozens of native wildflowers. If you are visiting for the first time, this is the perfect introduction to the space and its history.
Following the tour, we will transition into hands-on care by cutting back last year's flower stalks, weeding, and potentially adding new native plants to the soil. Please bring a pair of gardening gloves and a curiosity to learn. Whether you are a regular or a first-time volunteer, your help ensures this habitat continues to flourish.
