SUMMARY:Planting hydrangeas at The Bridge
DESCRIPTION:The Bloomington Normal Garden Club Community Projects Committee\, headed by Chris Kraft\, is helping create gardens at the new community known as The Bridge on Oakland Ave. \nOn May 15th from 9:00-11:00am volunteers will be planting the 20 hydrangeas purchased by the club to be placed on the outside of the westside fence.

Please park in that parking lot and cross the street (carefully) to the Bridge property. \nSign up required at: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E094FA4AA5-64031692-planting#/

SUMMARY:Rain Barrel Workshop: Thursday\, May 28\, 2026 (5:30-6:30pm)
DESCRIPTION:The EAC’s rain barrel workshops teach attendees about the importance of rain water catchment in preventing storm water runoff pollution! Attendees will learn how to locate\, install\, and set up their rain barrel. We’ll also provide tips to transition downspouts for rain barrel usage\, and information on proper winter storage. Workshops cost $60.00 for general public and $50.00 for EAC Members. \nThroughout our workshop there will be ample opportunity for Q&A with EAC staff\, who can answer questions about beneficial environmental impacts as well as practical everyday use of rain barrels. \nBy the end of the workshop\, participants will have a sound understanding of the individual and community benefits of having a rain barrel\, and can be confident about next steps to install\, use and care for one. Participants will leave with their very own rain barrel made from a repurposed food-grade 55 gallon drum. \n \n*Workshop registration closes 3 days before the workshop start date.* \nThe Ecology Action Center will make reasonable accommodations for participation in public programs and services. To request accommodation\, please call 309-454-3169×11 or go to ecologyactioncenter.org/accommodation. Please provide two weeks advance notice if possible.
