Summary

ST. MARTIN DE PORRES completed its third year as an URI Greenspace group by creating a vegetative buffer for the playground along Portsea Street. Plants were selected to attract butterflies and bring form and color to the space. Students worked together with neighborhood youth to complete the project and to maintain previous year's work.
