Volunteers gather on Wednesday and Saturday mornings, from 9:00am until 11:00am. We announce which garden we’ll be working on the day before each gathering, so check this page to see where we will be meeting.
Greening will take place at Merchants' Park, at the corner of Cookman Avenue and Main Street. Tasks will include raking, pulling spring weeds, and pruning.
For anyone watching this space, please know that the spontaneous urban gardening originally scheduled for Thursday morning has been cancelled. Stay tuned for our destination for Saturday, April 15th
The DPW dug new planting sites at the east end of Sunset Lake to complete the "2023 Arbor Day Grove" which you have already worked on last week. Since the weekend looks like a rainy one, there will be an ESTC SUG tomorrow from 10AM to 12PM and we can rest during the weekend.
If you checked this site earlier today, you saw a message saying greening would be canceled. We've changed our minds!!! Meet at the east end of Sunset Lake, where we'll be working on our new grove of trees, to be called "Asbury Park Arbor Day Grove 2023"
