We'll begin at the new Kite Garden, east of the Children's Garden on Lake Ave and will move westward toward the Pollinator Garden. Though a pallet (75 bags) of mulch arrived at the DPW yesterday, thankfully the Lake Ave gardens only need superficial weeding and in true fashion some mulching as well. 

APESTC Greening — Gratitude AND MORE

Gratitude Garden 829-861 Bangs Ave, Asbury Park, NJ, United States

Saturday's ESTC Greening will be reminiscent of a childhood game called "Eenie, Meenie, Miny, Mo" but which means "Gratitude, Merchants, Civil War, Kite" or "G,M,C,K"...all of which need some extra mulch to keep our weed population under control.
