Community Rain Garden Care Day

Join us in taking care of Churchill Gardens — a beautiful set of rain gardens located in Como Park! These gardens are filled with native plants that provide essential support for pollinators and manage stormwater. 🌼

We'll be pulling invasive plants and giving some love to our gardens. No experience or commitment is needed — feel free to drop by anytime between 5 PM - 7 PM on the 3rd Monday of each month. Bring a friend, a bottle of water, and help us keep this green space thriving! 💚
