The Richmond Tree Week kickoff event at Byrd Park The Richmond Tree Week kickoff event at Byrd Park was a success! The group of volunteers who joined us to plant trees was incredibly hard working. Volunteers and partners worked side by side to add 50 new trees to RVA's tree canopy, connecting with each other and getting their hands in the dirt. The day was a testament to the number of our neighbors who are passionate about taking real action for the earth and the community. @reforestrichmond @rvaparksandrec

@troutmanpepperlockellp has volunteered with us s @troutmanpepperlockellp has volunteered with us several times, and we're always happy to have them back in the gardens. This time it was a small but mighty group! Last winter many plants in the rain garden at the Low Line Green died because of excessive salt build up in the soil from runoff from the overpasses. We needed to replant the space with species that are more tolerant of salty soil, and this team planted 150 new plugs and 14 shrubs! Thanks for your time @troutmanpepperlockellp!
