Growing Green with Pride 2021 Report


Thanks to everyone who joined us on Saturday, October 30 for our Fall 2021 Growing Green with Pride event!  We had 8 volunteers and it ended up being a beautiful day.  The rain from earlier in the week made it much easier to dig the holes.  We planted 10 redbud trees along Fort Washington Road, 100 daffodils, and picked up trash.  Volunteers included Henrieta Dzurikaninova, Carter Ferrington, Ed & Jacque Akselrad, Louisa Buadoo-Amoa, Rebecca Richter, and Bill Bell.   A special thanks to Tony Mitchell for picking up the trees and supplies and placing them where they were planted--greatly appreciated!  

We would like to schedule more frequent clean-up events, perhaps every month or two.  Also, we could use some volunteers to help water the trees.  If you might be interested in either or both activities, please give Jamie Crist your contact information.  You can reach him by cell at 703-966-8757 or by email at jamiedoc@aol.com.
