Summary

ST. MARTIN DE PORRES completed its fourth year as an URI Greenspace group by replenishing the vegetative buffer along Portsea Street on the playground which was planted the previous year. Plants were selected to bring color to the space year round and to grow up into large shrubs over time. They also worked to spread 25 yards of playground woodchips to improve the safety of the playground for the young children. Finally, they did great stewardship on the existing plants and trees around the school. Students worked together with instructors and parents to complete the project and to maintain the previous year's work.
