Summary

The efforts of the Bradley St. Greenspace group can be found in a ribbon park that stretches alongside the pleasant shade of Bradley St. and its London Plane trees. Neighbors and friends of the community came together cleaning up the park area and surrounding streets, mulching previous years' plantings that include a variety of flowering shrubs, ornamental grasses, ivy, and trees. In addition to work in the park, Bradley St. planted two cherry trees on Mill River Rd. in what hopes to be the start of a series of plantings transforming the treeless bend of streetscape.
