Summary

This year the Rosette St. group formed as a pairing of Habitat for Humanity and the residents of Rosette St. between Dewitt and Button. At the beginning of the summer the street was completely devoid of trees and tree pits. After removing 2 tons of concrete from the sidewalks the adults and children worked together to plant eight trees and twelve perennials, adding shade, greenery, and beauty to their block.
