You will receive an email over the winter to signup for an assessment. Anyone can email us to volunteer and help Hav-a-Rain Garden and your neighbors by helping us build rain gardens. For those newly assessed we have not responded to yet who were not offered a rain garden, we will be catching up and sending you an email but volunteering can earn you "extra points" and add to your score if you are still on our list wanting a garden. If you are thinking about it, coming to a build is the best way to learn. Yard clean up reminders, Fall is approaching! Reminder - Brush Collections rules are township specific and in Havertown they are put on the curb loose in a container (just like single stream recycling pick up). Brown bags and bundles are NOT ACCEPTED! Pro Tip: Shred leaves for excellent garden mulch (mow pile, shredder, mulching vacuum, weed wacker in can of leaves). Mow leaves right into lawn for excellent organic fertilizer. Ask your landscaper, it might be cheaper!
