2026 Greenspace Report
East Edge Gardeners has stewarded the perennial beds along Edgewood Ave for decades, and their work is evident in the space. Although the beds started out beautiful at the beginning of the summer, every week on Thursday morning, the group gathered to rain or shine to weed, mulch, plant, and build community, leaving the space more beautiful than when they started.
