Spring at Huntington Terrace

Although we had a small turnout for our bi-annual garden clean-up, it was a very enthusiastic and hard-working group!  Our sincere thanks go out to Margaret Hilton, HTCA President Mary Beth Sitrick, and Bob Margolies for all of their assistance.  We hope that all HT residents will stop by the triangle and admire the beauty of the garden as the growing season unfolds.

Spring Triangle Garden Clean-Up

Date: Saturday, April 12, 2014

Time: 9 am until Noon

SPRING – what’s that! I know it’s hard to imagine that warmer temperatures are just around the corner when memories of snow are still lingering. However; it will be here before we know it. Come join your HT neighbors on Saturday April 12th at the Triangle (corner of Roosevelt and Garfield Streets) for an invigorating and fun spring beautification of our award-winning community garden. Gardeners and non-gardeners alike are welcome. Bring tools and gloves if you have them. We’ll be relocating the path and some of the plants, pulling a few weeds and putting down mulch. Refreshments will be provided. Rain date will be Sunday, April 13th.

If you’re not able to attend the clean-up, but wish to participate in some fashion, we are always looking for donations for upkeep and materials. Checks can be sent to the HTCA treasurer, a Board member, or dropped off to Terese or Deborah during the clean-up Big or small, all contributions are welcome.

Also, if you are interested in being on, or learning more about, the HTCA garden committee, please contact either Terese Bernstein (tfbernstein@gmail.com) or Deborah Perry (cntywoods@gmail.com).

Looking forward to seeing everyone…
