Welcome to R.O.R.
Join us in “restoring our roots” and promoting environmental literacy in our backyard and beyond!
“Our desire is to bring the Downingtown community together in an effort to promote environmental literacy and ecological coexistence. We plan to restore the local habitat through the usage of native plants and responsible gardening practices in hopes of uniting the community with its natural roots. This initiative has the potential to establish a unique identity to the borough by rooting a name for Downingtown within the prestigious horticultural community of Chester County”
