Summary

The Russo Park Greenspace group met Saturday mornings this summer, working alongside the hustle and bustle of the local farmers' market. Community efforts focused on stewardship of the established garden beds that line this quaint park and path. In addition to careful weeding and mulching, a new garden bed was established, showcasing two beautiful viburnum by a park bench. Work in Russo Park culminated by neighbors coming together to lay the final touches of stone dust that snakes subtly between gardens and pines.
