Summary

Bishop St is a high-capacity group that has been working with Greenspace for many years. They are proud to have planted over 30 trees in the time they have been active and they like to say they are the most beautiful street in East Rock. Many volunteers in the group actively maintain their curbstrips and are knowledgeable about perennials. The group dynamic is very friendly and on several occasions new people joined the group when they saw us working. Some days the group would need extra perennials to plant, just to make sure there was enough work to go around!
