Our Projects at Celebration Day - Oct. 3rd

Celebration Saturday is just around the corner and two on-going projects of the Institute will be there!

COFFEE!
The DECA and Well-keepers clubs will partner again this year to offer you Havergal's Women Making a Difference coffee. This coffee will be made available to you at Hava Java on Celebration Day in the Ellen Knox library. You can buy the beans, grab a cup, or sign up for more information via email. Funds raised will support the sustainable business practices of Old Girl, Marigold Murray's (1953) women's coffee cooperative in Costa Rica. How do you order online? Go to www.havergalcoffee.com

TREES & FLOWERS!
Join us for our 2nd Annual Celebration Day Community Planting in the Burke Brooke! We will meet at 10am at the Lisa Hardie Trail to plant over 400 trees (73 different species) and flowers, which will help restore the native, Carolinian Forest on our property and contribute to its biodiversity.

How will it work?

Directed by our amazing on-site arborist, Jose Rubio Lazo, from 10am-1pm, we will be planting in Areas #3 and #1 (click on the map below)!


In Area #3 we will be planting trees and bushes that have “wet feet” and will thrive in “the swamp", and in Area #1 we will be planting bushes and flowers in order to attract more birds and butterflies.
(A complete list of trees that have been planted is also included below.)
