Summary

The Orchard Street Greenspace has been around for a while, and that’s evident in the space. Every week, the Hawkins (Paul and Katie) and the Green sisters (Eva and Helen) showed up without fail to maintain the space, dealing with weeds and invasives, especially knotweed and bamboo. As the space is very well established, this summer’s work focused on maintaining the already established areas as well as planting a few new bright and colorful plants in the front.
