April 19, 2025 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Eager to get your hands in the soil this spring? Get your calendars out! On Saturday, April 19th, Piedmont Discovery Center will be cohosting an event with Peabody School students at the Darden Towe Patch-Prairie for the Tom Tom Festival. We will share the methods we’ve been using, the hurdles we’ve encountered, the plants we’ve installed, and how to do this at home or in your community. We encourage you to immerse yourself in this ongoing restoration, ask questions, and get dirty planting! Also, native plants from Hummingbird Hill will be available for purchase on site!!
When? 10am-12pm on Saturday, April 19th
Where? Darden Towe Park – If traveling by car, please park by the soccer fields or pickleball court. The GPS points for the restoration are 38.040847, -78.448991.
What? This will be a hands-on workshop guided by PDC. Peabody students will also share plant ID cards, information for obtaining native local-ecotype seeds and plugs, and tips for how to get started in your own space.
Bring a trowel or soil knife if you have ‘em!
