Newcomers are welcome at our meets. We offer beginners’ courses suitable for both individuals and families.

tree planting and mulching at Libby Hill Park

Sat Feb 21 9:00 am
Join the Church Hill Planters and the Friends of Libby Hill Park for another day of Tree Love on the Hill on Saturday, Feb 21st at 9AM.
Working in cooperation with the City’s Departments of Parks and Recreation and Urban Forestry, we will spend the morning caring for our special park by mulching our existing trees and planting some new ones. This is a great opportunity to meet neighbors, enjoy some wonderful homemade refreshments, and show the City how much we care about our park.

Come out. Join the fun. Many hands make light work.

If you have them, please bring tools — wheelbarrows, shovels, rakes and gloves.
