Please join community members to renovate the HInesburg Silver St Rain Garden on Saturday June 26. 8am - 2pm The Garden needs weeding.This is your chance to get out and enjoy the company of friends and neighbors in the post-covid era.
The Rain Garden was first constructed and planted with native plants in 2014. It was engineered to capture and treat the stormwater runoff from RT 116 that had previously drained directly into the Laplatte River. Paul Rocheleau's 5th grade HInesburg Community School students helped maintain the garden but it's been a few years since it's been tended.
While it continues to function in treating the stormwater many of the original native plants have been overtaken by invasives. The Garden needs weeding and we invite anyone to come help.
The clean up begins at 8AM, Saturday, June 26th. If you are able to come, join us at any point from 8 onwards. We hope to finish by mid to late afternoon, all depends on how many folks show up.
It involves cutting down several small trees and digging up their stumps, weeding, removing some invasive shrubs, and if time allows, mulching certain areas.
Tools to bring are: shovels, rakes, mattocks, pick ax, hand saws, hand pruners and your favorite weeding tools. Be sure to label all your tools with your name.
So please join us in this worthwhile community effort.
Feel free to contact me with any questions by text or call Paul Rocheleau at 802-324-3081or Andrea Morgante at 802 482-5120
