PLG for the Park - A Success!

A huge THANK YOU to the over 40 volunteers who showed up on September 17th for PLG for the Park!  We cared for 34 tree beds (plus 4 tree-less beds) along the Ocean Avenue Prospect Park Perimeter, and had a fantastic time working together!  Thank you again to the Prospect Park Alliance for planning this event with us and to the Partnership for Parks Capacity Fund Grant for funding.
