Lady Fern Farm

This is so fun to see! What a great way to celebrate a library garden!💕

I’m proud to have been a part of it.

JOIN US TODAY, (SATURDAY), AND MONDAY!!!!

The Regional Environmental Council has partnered with Lady Fern Farm and ReWild Habitat Gardens for an abitious project where we will install 350 native plants, including shrubs and herbaceous species, at Elm Park Community School.

This project needs volunteer help to prepare and plant the site. Together, we will create a beautiful and thriving habitat along the garden fence that will provide food and shelter for pollinators, birds, and other wildlife.

By working together, we can transform this space into a vibrant outdoor learning environment where children can connect with nature, explore biodiversity, and enjoy the beauty of native plants throughout the seasons. Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome to join us in helping create a healthier and more resilient community landscape.
