Highlights from Connect with the Creek

Hello Highland Creek Green Community!

Check out some of these recent highlights from the Connect with the Creek blog.

Let's Plant the Milliken Park Neighbourhood Rain Garden!

In October 2014, we built the foundation of the new Milliken Park Neighbourhood Rain Garden. This year, we’re going to plant the garden and teach local residents how they can create beautiful rain gardens at their homes or in their communities.

  • On Sunday, May 24, join us to plant the new rain garden.
  • On Thursday, May 28, take part in our Greening Your Grounds: Getting Started workshop.
  • On Tuesday June 9, take part in our Greening Your Grounds: Rain Gardens and Native Plants workshop.
  • On Thursday, July 9, join us for a tour of water features in Milliken Park.

Please register to take part in any of these events.

If you're interested in regular updates about this project please join our Milliken Park Neighbourhood Rain Garden Monitoring Network.

Get Outside and Get Involved this Spring!

We have a lot going on over the next few months! Come on out, get your hands dirty, and do something good for Highland Creek watershed, Scarborough.
