PLANT LINCOLN ROAD - JUNE 28th

Hi Ocean Avenue Tree Club Friends!

The Flowers on Ocean event on June 7th was awesome, and now it's time for us to share to love with Lincoln Road between Ocean and Flatbush!  Because a number of the Ocean Avenue tree pits were already planted by awesome neighbors before June 7th, we have "lovely leftovers" to share!  I checked in with LinRoForma (the group that planted the flowering planters on the Lincoln Road bridge) and they would love to have the tree pits planted.  Here's the deal:

SATURDAY, JUNE 28th - 1pm
- Meet in front of 125 Ocean Avenue 
- Bring gloves and gardening tools with you - this is a casual get-together of  gardeners - we don't have sponsorship this time so come prepared with your own stuff. 
- Anyone want to volunteer to bring water and/or snacks?
- There are about four tree pits that we need to plant plus three more that just need mulch as the tree roots are too large to plant around.  This is 1/10th of Ocean Avenue so it should be an "easy day".
 - We will move flowers, compost and mulch (only a small amount) from 125 Ocean to Lincoln Road.  If you have a handcart, wagon or wheelbarrow - bring it!!
- We will follow the same flow-of-work that we did for our Ocean Avenue event - see below checklist for a refresher.
- We don't have new tree/flower care signs for this event, but if someone wants to volunteer to make some, below is how I did it for Ocean Avenue!  There are also free down-loadable signs from MillionTreesNYC here - http://www.milliontreesnyc.org/downloads/pdf/Treebedsign2.pdf.  I teach and just don't have time to make them this "last week of school" week - let me know if you want to take the lead on this!

RSVP to me if you can make it so I have a head-count - alvmusick(AT)gmail.com!

Hooray!
