Collaboratively restoring native landscapes, one patch of piedmont at a time.
Find Out MoreWe aim to restore native flora and fauna displaced by rapid urbanization, and to cultivate keepers of Creation. The Piedmont Patch Collaborative is grounded in a belief that the environment and our natural resources will be better sustained, and even thrive, as organizations and individuals work to cultivate one patch at a time. The Project is envisioned as a collaborative effort of The Episcopal Church of The Advocate, the town, the NC Botanical Gardens, and individuals with knowledge and skills to share.

Come contribute some sweat equity to the Piedmont Patch's collaborative mission to restore the native landscape of the property of the Episcopal Church of the Advocate. Any interested person, of any age, is welcome to help plant grant-purchased and donated grasses and wildflowers around the pond. Wear gardening clothes, bring gloves and hand tools (and shovels!), and even waterproof boots or shoes if you like wading in the mud. Novices will be paired with experienced planters. Your RSVP will help us plan the tasks.
The Advocate is located at 8410 Merin Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27516.
