Common Earth Gardens partnered with Louisville Grows and Louisville MSD to plant almost 100 trees at our Incubator Farm on Millers Lane.

Folks from Humana, Derby City Gaming Hotel, Brothers United, & Community Credit Union all came out on Arbor Day to get their hands dirty with us! A combination of Oak, Magnolia, Redbud, Serviceberry, & Black Tupelo were planted to beautify the space, as well as offering fruit for farmers, and blooms for native pollinators. The soil was tough, but our volunteers were tougher!

As is traditional at a large tree planting, a cache of small haunted glass bottles were unearthed.
