Community Planting Day!
October 4, 2025
Join our lead gardener Phil Carlino on the feast day of St. Francis of Assisi to actively co-labor in the caring of God’s creation! We’ll be planting the native trees, shrubs, grasses and perennials made possible through our Sponsor a Native Plant Initiative!
Kindly Register by October 1
At the Community Planting Day, we’ll also share all about our sustainability initiatives here at the Center. Most recently, we have….
- Installed rain gardens to slow, filter, and clean stormwater before it enters the Cobbs Creek watershed.
- Added rain barrels to capture roof runoff for reuse in gardens.
- Replaced lawn areas with native meadows, woodland plantings, and pollinator gardens.
- Planted densely to crowd out weeds, protect soil, and create thriving habitats.
- Educated our community about the spiritual + ecological benefits caring for creation!
