Throop Learning Garden
2014 proved to be a momentous year.
We hosted a number of talks and workshops, fundraised, financed, and installed the beginning part of a rainwater harvesting system. We increased our native plant population, and decreased our water usage in a time of drought. We formed new alliances that will boost our capacity to offer workshops.
We hope to offer workshops in tree care and pruning, rose care and pruning, native plant healing, and more. Dates will be posted soon.
We are also happy to partner with Throop Church for a month-long Earth celebration — 30 Days for Earth. This will feature multiple workshops and events on the Sundays leading up to Earth Day.
