And it`s over! This afternoon we said a fond farewell to the student artwork that`s been on display in the New Weave building since early March. A special thank-you to Bollman Bridge Elementary School art teachers Sophie and Ray and liaison Danielle for once again bringing so much creativity and color to our community!

With 30 attendees and over 300 lbs. of trash collected, last Saturday`s Savage Mill Trail Earth Day Cleanup was a big success. Thank you to @go_upcycled and everyone who participated in this show of community pride and care for our planet. #EarthDay2025 #GreatGlobalCleanup

Easter is almost here! Savage Mill will be closed this Sunday for the holiday. Some shops and restaurants may remain open so we recommend contacting individual businesses directly to confirm their hours. Wishing you a wonderful Easter!

The sun might be playing hide-and-seek today, but the forecast is looking good for this Saturday`s Earth Day Cleanup at Savage Mill Trail organized by our friends with @go_upcycled. Meet at the trailhead at 11 am for 2 hours of volunteer work, and grab lunch afterwards from one of the businesses inside Savage Mill. Tip: check out this beautiful picnic table vantage point overlooking the Mill`s powerhouse ruins and explore the newly-created spur trail leading down to the river!

Our campus is returning to life, awash with spring colors and refreshed looks. Yellow is the predominant color, from forsythia and daffodils to native spicebush blooming by the @terrapin_adventures adventure course. Redbuds and cherry trees are next in line. And humans are busy too, replacing bricks damaged by the winter weather (thanks, Sophie, for posing!) and adding beauty to the doors at @caplansauction and the @chesapeake_flower_exchange. Come for a spring walk and see what you can discover!

Leona`s Sewing Studio had the pleasure of welcoming the Sandy Springs Friends School of Silver Spring, MD, for “The Art of Quilting Workshop – A Team Approach” last week.
