Summary

Batter Terrace returned to the Greenspace program this year for their second successful summer of planting. The group added a new light to their block through plantings in curbstrips and front yards. Volunteers young and old came to plant an array of perennials and shrubs that create a vibrant understory below the canopy of mature oak trees.
