Medians @ 17 & Main – Work Party – 8/31 & 9/1 2018

Posted on August 28, 2018January 30, 2025

 RESCHEDULING!

Hello Wonderful Members & Volunteers!

We are grateful that many of you’ve answered the call for help in making over the GPIP Rt 17 North Island Median gardens. Many hands make lighter work; it’s amazing what we have accomplished as a group.

As I’m sure you are aware, the weather forecast for later this week is predicted to be over 90 degrees and humid with thunderstorms predicted on Thursday. These temps can prove dangerous for vigorous outdoor activities; namely digging perennials.  Safety first.  Therefore, Gary and I have decided to reschedule the North Island Makeover work.

Cancelling:
Wednesday August 29th at 3:30pm
Thursday August 30th  at 3;30pm

New Dates/times:
Friday August 31st at 4:00pm: perennial (flowers and grass) removal
Saturday Sept 1st at 7:00am. Any leftover perennials to remove; plant 8 hydrangeas

We understand fully if you’re unavailable to participate at the new times. We meet again for fall cleanup on Oct 20th.

If you can come, please reply to a.asars@sbcglobal.net or text or call: Andra 860.538.6049.

Please bring water, shovel, gloves, buckets & boxes to take plants home if you like.
