Wow!! So many neighbors braved the cold to come together for hot chocolate, train rides and caroling. Thank you to for organizing this special holiday gathering and for art on wheels for bringing craft projects and the fire fighters for joining us and bringing out the truck. What a lovely and blustery evening

Workday Update: Rescheduled for 12/13

Native Meadow Workday
The Friends of Fonticello Park and our partner, Future Habitats, need your help to line the path with rocks and mulch the meadow in the park.


*When: Saturday, December 13th, 10 am-1 pm

Meet at the Teardrop Garden

This project was funded by a Virginia Outdoors Foundation grant and installed in partnership with the City of Richmond Department of Parks, Recreation, and Community Facilities, with support from LERN (Local Ecotype Richmond Natives) and environmental studies students from Varina High School. Together, we are increasing pollinator habitat, providing food for birds and small mammals, and improving stormwater infiltration in this historic park.

Managing w**d pressure and mulching are important during the establishment phase of these meadows, so come get your hands in the soil and help these plants succeed!

Tools and gloves will be provided. Please dress in warm, comfortable clothes that you don’t mind getting dirty, and bring plenty of water.

Street parking is available along Perry Street. The park entrance is located at Perry and W 28th Streets. Meet by the teardrop garden bed, indicated in the map below.

*Note: this event will be weather permitting.
