This summer and fall, Patuxent Triangle HOA is building build a swale to redirect water from our parking lot into the nearby meadow area. We will be building the swale and planting out almost 800 square feet with native plants thanks to a grant from Chesapeake Bay Trust. This will be a beautiful and eco-friendly addition to the other gardens on Montgomery Street.

To kick things off, we need to first prepare the ground in four new beds by smothering the existing grass with arborist wood chips. Please come down and help us for a few hours so we're ready for fall planting!

Things to bring:

Plenty of water

Work clothing and a broad-brimmed hat

Gardening or work gloves

Shovels, pitchforks, and cultivators (we will have some to borrow)

We could also use an extra wheelbarrow!
