Cedar Hill Neighborhood

For their last workday, the group worked to pull overgrown weeds, cut back vines, and plant hostas and daylilies under the 219 sign on Warren Place. This particular space is often one's first entrance to Cedar Hill; stewarding and beautifying it in this way sends a positive, welcoming message to the Cedar Hill and greater New Haven community: many people have love and care to give to the people and spaces around them.
