AH, no, the sky isn’t falling down – these are views of the scaffolding coming down at the corner of Horatio & Hudson- which just makes the sky look so close and big and grand and open!

Oops, I guess we should have planted the tree beds on that block rather than skipping the scaffolding block. How long had that scaffolding been there? Anyone remember? At least a few years….

Has anyone noticed the beautiful flowers that “magically” appeared on Horatio St? Thanks to Marjorie Colt, who organized the whole thing, we now have flowers planted in most of the tree pits on our street. On May 13th, a few hearty souls dragged peat and flowers up and down the street and planted our hearts out. It was a lot of work, but the return is the beauty that we see every day. Many of our neighbors, who didn’t know about the planting day, said they wanted to be more involved and asked to be added to the mailing list. I also heard many “thank-yous” as I was planting. It was so rewarding to meet neighbors and to create something so lovely. Thanks also goes to Theo, a great young neighbor ,who helped plant and water and entertain!

Please join your neighbors on May 13 for a Spring Planting Party. As I’m sure you’ve noticed, many of the tree guards (are those iron things called tree guards?) have been freshly painted black and await the Spring plantings!

Please attend, whether you have a green thumb or not. The Horatio Street Association is sponsoring the event and will organize all the volunteers. They are also purchasing dirt and flowers and the other necessary items.

The day will begin at 9.30am. If you can you bring any gardening tools like trowels or shovels or other gardening tools that I don’t even know the name of please let us know – - you can respond in the comments section below.

If you have suggestions about the types of flowers you’d like to see on the street, or any other planting day projects you’d like to see tackled, please leave a comment.
