RG&C’s 2019 Garden Tour was a tremendous success – our most successful garden tour to date.

Thanks to the garden owners who were willing to share their gardens with all of us, the volunteers who made the tour possible through their hard work, the sponsors who supported the tour, and, without any question, the many, many people who took advantage of great weather and beautiful gardens and went on the tour.

It was a privilege to be welcomed into the private backyard spaces on the tour, spaces we likely would never see without such an event.

Thank you all for your efforts on behalf of Roslindale Green & Clean.

We couldn’t have done it without you.

As our 2018 planting season winds down, we’ll be planting bulbs at both Adams Park and Alexander the Great Park. Join us at Adams Park on Sunday, November 4, 2018 at 10:00 am for this final bit of gardening.

Anyone who can knows, or can figure out, how to dig a hole with a trowel, drop a bulb in the hole, and then cover the hole back over can help with this work so feel free to join us.

We’re still working on the end-of-summer garden chores necessary to the healthy overwintering of our green spaces. On Tuesday, September 25, 2018 from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm, we’ll do weeding and deadheading at Savage Mini-park and on the slope of the Roslindale Village Commuter Rail Station facing Belgrade Avenue.

We welcome anyone who wants to lend a hand in grooming these spaces for the winter.

As we reach the end of summer, we are doing the gardening work required to prepare for late fall and winter. We’ll be weeding and deadheading plants at Taft Hill Park on Sunday, September 16, 2018 from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm (days are getting shorter so our gardening ours change to reflect that). Time allowing, we will do some work at Adams Park across the street as well.

Anyone willing to help out is always welcome.

The next round of gardening work in the Square has changed date and location.

On Wednesday, September 5, 2018 from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm we will work on the small green space planted at Lee Hill Road and Washington Street across from Healy Field weeding and cleaning up the vinca bed there.

As always, we welcome anyone to join us in keeping green space in Roslindale Square attractive and healthy.

On Tuesday, August 21, 2018 from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm, we will meet at the Alexander the Great Park and the traffic islands at Robert and Corinth Streets and Belgrade Ave. to do our usual gardening work.

We’re delighted to have anyone who wants to get their hands dirty join us to keep these public green spaces looking good.

On Tuesday, August 7, 2018 from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm, we will meet at Savage Mini-Park (on Belgrade Avenue across from the Roslindale Village T Commuter Rail Station) to do our usual gardening work at Savage and at the T Station hillside across from Savage.

We’re delighted to have anyone who wants to get their hands dirty join us to keep these public green spaces looking good.
