Thank you! Adopt a Tree?

After a break for the summer and the fall back to school shuffle, we are back and ready to prepare for winter - and spring!  Before we gather again to green our stretch of Ocean Avenue, we wanted to send a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has taken the time since our Flowers on Ocean event last June to:

• Water the flowers and trees
• Plant MORE flowers
• Pull weeds
• Spread fresh mulch and/or compost
• Pick up the trash
• Say "thank you" to a neighbor tending to a garden

I notice myself walking a bit slower every time I am on Ocean Avenue so I can smile at the unique ways that buildings and home owners have expanded their greenery - thank you, thank you!

We still have work to do however.  Not every tree is thriving, nor has every plant that we planted in June survived.  As we look to the next event later in November, it is one of our goals to have every tree and tree bed garden "adopted" by at least one neighbor.  Neighbors who will look after the trees and flowers, water when needed, pick up trash and be part of a team working together to keep our piece of Ocean Avenue beautiful.  Perhaps you will sign-up?

We hope to see you on November 23rd (details above).
