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!
