Our Happy Block: THIS SATURDAY!

The time is finally here...it's time to PLANT!

Help us get the garden going at the most happening community greenspace in the neighborhood!
We depaved a parking lot, and now we’re ready to add a dash of paradise.

Join Our Happy Block and Depave for a fun day in the dirt where we’ll put in over 1,000 plants all around the new greenspace.
Celebrate with us and learn all about naturescaping and rain gardens!
(or if you don't want to play in the dirt, we can always use food donations. Please 'reply' if you'd like to contribute in this fashion.)
Tell your friends!

DETAILS

Date: Saturday, October 22

Volunteers of all ages are welcome! Depave will provide volunteers with all the necessary tools and gloves.

What we've already achieved together...

Planted 29 new street trees on our block!
Greatly improved neighborhood safety by cutting-off the entrance/exit from Calvary's parking lot to Martins Street (this prevents vehicles from 'short-cutting' through the parking lot at high speeds. )
added sidewalks, curbs and street trees where the concrete approaches once were.
Planted a new Native Plant Garden!
Painted a 50' x 23' Mural & added lighting to deter graffiti and prevent crime
Depaved over 4,300 square feet of asphalt!
added Curbs and new parking stall striping to parking lot
Worked together with our fellow neighbors to take ownership of our BLOCK!
