GrowingCommunity

Pots containing young seedlings

GrowingCommunity is part garden club, part environmental club, part beautification project! This newly-formed group meets monthly to talk about topics pertaining to plants, from composting to garden art to problems with pests! 

There are plans in the works for the group to start a community garden, as well as to educate and encourage residents to plant pollinator gardens.

Meetings are typically held on the evening of the second Thursday of the month. We welcome plant nerds and newbies alike!

Check out the WeTHRIVE in Reading Calendar to find our next meeting, or send us an email at weTHRIVEreading@gmail.com to ask to be added to the GrowingCommunity email list.
