A Little of This, a Little of That

Despite the forecast, we had quite a good turn out for the farmers market.
We have had nothing but positive comments about our group, the market and the park. Several folks expressed interest in having a garden plot for next summer, many signed up to join our group and also to volunteer for neighborhood clean ups. We have been surveying the attendees to ask what they would like to see at the Park going forward. We will have the results in the near future.
Speaking of clean ups, we are thrilled to have been approached by the President of Providence College’s Environmental Club to work with us on improving the neighborhood through clean ups and plantings. Incidentally this came up before ‘Operation Red Cup’ was publicized! These students as well as many others we have heard from are committed to keeping our neighborhood beautiful. Our first joint clean-up is scheduled for Sunday, October 24, started at 12pm. Details to follow next week.
In addition, before it gets too cold, we would like to plant some bulbs on the island at Eaton and Smith and resume painting the fence at Fargnoli Park. As always, we are looking for volunteers and would love to hear from you. We can be reached by email at contact@elmhurstcleanandgreen.org.
Have a great week!
