You might be wondering, why a rain garden? Well, a rain garden is more than just a lovely patch of flowers and grasses—it’s a way to give back to the earth. By planting native species that thrive in our local climate, we create a garden that helps absorb and filter rainwater. This reduces runoff and provides a home for pollinators and local wildlife. In other words, it’s a place where the environment and community can grow together, one plant at a time. Plus, the plants are just so un-be-leaf-ably beautiful!

 

So, what are you waiting for? Leaf your worries behind and come join us for a day of worship, planting, and community! We can’t wait to see you there—let’s grow together!

 

This Sunday, Let’s Plant a Rain Garden - Bring Gloves and a Hand Trowel

 

At 10:00 AM, we’ll get our hands dirty—literally—as we roll up our sleeves to plant a beautiful native rain garden. Watch the attached video for a planting primer. Rain gardens are not just functional; they’re a garden for the soul. They help manage stormwater runoff, encourage biodiversity, and bring beauty and life to any landscape. Native plants are the deep-rooted stars of the show, perfectly suited to our local climate, and they help maintain a healthy ecosystem.

 

Bring your gardening gloves and a hand trowel, and we’ll teach you all about the best native plants to keep our rain garden growing strong. Who knew that with a little bit of digging, we could help the environment and enjoy some rooting for our planet all at the same time?
