Greening on Saturday will be at the Rain Garden on Main and Springwood Ave. There will be weeds to be pulled and perennials to be planted.

Wednesday's greening will begin at the Pollinator Garden on Heck and Lake Ave and end at the Rain Garden on Main and Springwood Ave. We will be weeding, planting and mulching,oh my, like "Lions, Tigers and Bears, oh my!"

Saturday’s ESTC Greening will find us once again at the Rain Garden on Main and Springwood Ave. Jerusalem Artichokes aka Sun Chokes ( whose roots are edible)  need removal, along with Cup plants which are deceptively attractive but in time invasive. 

Wednesday's ESTC Greening will begin and probably end at Gratitude Garden on Bangs Ave next to the side entrance of City Hall. Our usual late season motif of weeding will endure.

Wednesday's ESTC Greening (9/13/23 - 8-10 AM) will continue at the Rain Garden on Main Street. Tomorrow at the Rain Garden, it will be two hours of pulling Mugwort and removing Rocks. 

Sea Hear Now will be filling up the east end of the city tomorrow and we will be avoiding that crush by working at the west end's Atkins Avenue Garden just off Springwood Avenue. Its patrons, Donna and Judge Ron Troppoli, will be there to assist us in cleaning, weeding and planting. 

Wednesday's ESTC Greening (9/27/23 from 9-11 AM) will begin at the pocket garden at the Library on Grand Ave for a minor weeding. Then volunteers will move to the Pollinator Garden on Lake and Heck Ave and move eastward. The ground will be especially amenable to weeding which will be the focus of the Greening.… Read More »APESTC Greening — Library Garden

Tomorrow's Greening from 9-11 AM will begin at the Gratitude Garden and move onto City Hall. Most likely we will be cleaning up after the torrential rain and, of course, weeding.

Today's rain is peripatetic and to lessen the chance of getting caught in it, the ESTC Greening is cancelled.

Today's Greening will begin at the Rotary Garden on 5th Ave and move westward to continue pruning and weeding before winter sets in.

Saturday's Greening will begin at Merchants Park on Cookman and Main St and then move eastward to Press Plaza on Cookman and Mattison Ave. As winter approaches we will continue deadheading and weeding. Dress warm.

Wednesday's greening will be the first of several lessons in hope. Spring bulbs will be planted at Press Plaza and The Public Library Garden and eventually several other gardens. The Shade Tree Commission purchased 14 street trees which will be planted during this time of hope as well as in the coming weeks.
