Conservation Garden Build Day: Help Plant the New Community Garden @ BlackRock
Join the Community Design Lab for a hands-on Volunteer Build Day as we bring our student-designed conservation garden to life at BlackRock Center for the Arts in Germantown.
This is the final step of our Fall Design+Build program, where local students and volunteers work side by side to transform ideas into a living landscape that supports pollinators, manages stormwater, and beautifies the community.
You don’t need any special skills, just a willingness to dig in, plant, and learn. We’ll provide tools, gloves, and guidance. Together, we’ll install native plants like black-eyed susans, purple coneflowers, and butterfly W**d, creating a lasting outdoor classroom and gathering space for all.
What to expect:
- Light garden work, including planting, mulching, and watering
- A short orientation and garden tour
- Earn up to 3 Montgomery County SSL hours
- All materials and refreshments provided
- Activities suitable for ages 12+ (youth under 18 must have parental or guardian permission)
When: Saturday, November 7th, from 1:00 p.m.– 4:00 p.m.
Where: BlackRock Center for the Arts, 12901 Town Commons Drive, Germantown, MD
Join us in beautifying Upper Montgomery County, one garden bed at a time.
We hope to see you there!
