Now's the Time to Plan for FCWA's 2021 Container Garden Contest!
Fishing Creek Watershed Association is excitedly looking forward to ArtFest 2021 and our Third Container Garden Contest and we hope you are, too. ArtFest is planned for Saturday, August 21 in Downtown Bloomsburg. The all-day event, filled with art, crafts, music and good food, will be especially welcome after more than a year of social distancing. You won't want to miss it!
We invite you to create a thematic container garden and bring it to be displayed at ArtFest, where the public will admire the gardens and vote for their favorites. We'll use the money we earn through this popular vote for the rain garden and pollinator gardens at Kocher Park. Our last contest earned nearly $300 for additional plants, and this year--with your help-- we can beat that mark!
One does not have to be a member of FCWA to enter, but we always welcome new members. Also, in addition to the satisfaction of helping the gardens at Kocher Park, the winning gardener wins a choice of prizes. So go ahead and start planning your entry!

By taking a few simple steps, we can all make a difference:
• Skip spring lawn fertilizer because it Can cause pollution, and It is more effective applied in the fall.
• If you do use fertilizer, use phosphorus-free fertilizer. Only use fertilizer if rain is not expected for 24 hours
after application and Sweep excess fertilizer off pavement to prevent water pollution.
Together, we can conserve our resources.
Remember, it’s up to all of us to be good stewards of our commonwealth.
