Thank you to everyone who helped revamp the Trinity Park gardens! We appreciate the amazing group of gardener volunteers and our neighbors who donated plants. A special shout-out to Lisa Weldon, Pam Cleghorn, Vonnett Seeger, Bill Redding, Bill Gordon, Kirk Jones, Jennifer Ceide, and Teresa Valliere for rolling up their sleeves and getting the plants in the ground. Swing by the park to check out the updates!
The Green Team will meet a few times over the winter to plan some other projects. If you are interested in helping us with them in 2021, please contact us at volunteer@woodfordscorner.org.
Appreciate FWC's community events and resources? Donate to support our work, and receive a "Hopeful/Together We Can" sign for your home!
