The #RVA community never fails to show up for us. Our recent community workday was a wonderful success. Volunteers worked together to pull weeds and clean up the gardens ahead of fall, and with many hands at work, the group accomplished a ton (20 hours combined!) Thank you to everyone who came out to volunteer. If you couldn't make it, but want more information on volunteering with us, hop over to our website to learn more, it's linked from our bio.👆

The green blooms of the Annabelle hydrangeas at the Low Line really put the "green" in urban greenspace. Come see them, and the rest of the summer blooms in the gardens, you'll be glad you did.

When we say we have some of the best volunteers around, we really mean it. Jerry and Marc regularly volunteer in the gardens for our weekly maintenance days. Recently, we needed folks handy with tools and lumber and they stepped up to lend a hand. They worked together to secure our irrigation controls at the Low Line Green — check out their craftsmanship! Thanks very much to you both for all the time you donate to Capital Trees.
