New in our Gardens!

As part of her Gold Award project, Girl Scout Ashley Meredith helped children at the Shirlington Branch Library and teens at the Westover Branch Library decorate 2 rain barrels – one for each Library’s garden. Ashley started her workshops by talking about recycling and the idea of sustainability, then helped her attendees to stencil and paint their rain barrels.

Ashley’s enthusiasm and energy were contagious, and we really enjoyed hosting her project.  And of course, we’re delighted to use the rain barrels in our gardens!
