"Planting Hope" Plant Give Away Day

Trinity is celebrating the joy of God’s creation by participating in “Sacred Grounds”, a program of the National Wildlife Federation (NWF).  Through this program, Free native plant starter kits are available, just pledge to plant native plants in your space: https://www.nwf.org/NativePlantPledge.  All those who pledge can pick up their starter kits of 3 small plants (both sun- and shade- loving) at Trinity on April 18, 2026, during its “Planting Hope Plant Give Away Day”.  Please plan to bring a contribution to the monthly food drive.

Native plants protect people and wildlife because they are suited to the soil and weather (e.g. rainfall) of (Maryland/DC). They provide food and homes for local wildlife and help the soil to filter water which protects our local streams from pollution and flooding.

Growing Joy is funded by: Chesapeake Bay Trust’s Clean Water Montgomery Grant Program, Prince George’s County Stormwater Stewardship Grants Program, the District of Columbia Stormwater Enterprise Fund, and the District of Columbia Anacostia River Clean Up and Protection Fund.
