HTCA heard the County’s call for volunteers for Earth Day, so we’re sponsoring a local environmental project at our neighborhood’s own Triangle Garden. Save the date for SATURDAY, APRIL 18TH AT 9:00 AM, to meet at Roosevelt and Garfield Streets.
Our Triangle Garden/Earth Day Project will focus on installing a sustainable, native plant garden, composed of native plants that are low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and attractive to birds, butterflies and bees. We’ll also spruce up the existing plantings at the Triangle garden as well. For those of you interested in the value of native plantings that attract wildlife (including bees), check out http://www.sciam.com/report.cfm?id=buzz-on-bees for further information.
To help plant, donate cash, or provide supplies or refreshments, please sign up with Triangle Garden Coordinator, Terese Bernstein (at tfbernstein@gmail.com, or at 301-775-1512).
Please bring your own tools and gloves. Community Service hours are available for Pyle and Whitman student volunteers. If it rains, we’ll contact all signed-up volunteers with the rain date.
If you prefer to send a garden donation with your dues, please let HTCA’s Treasurer know how much to be set aside for garden purposes. Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated.
Look forward to seeing everyone for our Earth Day event on the 18th!!

Just one of many photos of the event
With over 60 hardy neighbors in attendance, some 40 of whom sported Abraham Lincoln hats and beards, the event commemorating Lincoln and celebrating our own Lincoln Street was deemed a success. The threat (and reality) of cold weather, high winds and odd stares from passers-by did not deter many Huntington Terrace citizens from wishing our 16th president a 200th birthday.
A slide show of the photographs has been uploaded. Take a look at the great photographs whether you at the event or not — it was a sight to behold!
