Blessing of GreenGrace Arboretum

Join Bishop Brian Cole as he blesses Tennessee’s newest Level 2 Arboretum!

Grace Episcopal Church, Chattanooga, became a certified Level Two Arboretum (60+ tree species) by the Tennessee Urban Forestry Council in December of 2021. The property encompasses certified butterfly and pollinator habitats, a Monarch Waystation, a National Wildlife Federation Urban Habitat, and a community garden. Grace Episcopal Church also hosts a weekly farmer’s market.

An outdoor reception will follow.

The event will proceed rain or shine and will begin on the west side (Belvoir Ave.) of the church. All are welcome. Please join us!
