Plant Trees, Shrubs & Herbaceous Plants at Richmond's East End Branch Library
After nearly a year of community engagement, planning, and design work, the Greening Richmond Public Libraries team is preparing to implement a green infrastructure site plan at Richmond Public Library’s East End Branch Library that will result in better management of stormwater runoff and more tree canopy in one of the hottest areas of the East End.
Join the James River Association and its partners for a community planting event at East End Branch Library in September!
Volunteers are being recruited to help plant trees, shrubs, and herbaceous plants around the library on September 29 and 30.

East End Branch Library is located at 1200 N. 25th Street, Richmond, Virginia and is accessible via a variety of modes of transportation including public transportation (GRTC routes 12 and 7A/B). Volunteers are encouraged to bring their own gloves and a bottle of water. Tools and planting instructions will be provided by James River Association staff members.
These community planting events are associated with the Greening Richmond Public Libraries and are made possible by support from Altria, Richmond Department of Public Utilities/RVAH2O, Virginia Department of Forestry, and the United States Environmental Protection Agency through a grant from the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. Project partners include Richmond Public Library, Richmond Department of Public Utilities, James River Association, and Four Winds Design.
