Truman St. continues to be a successful community garden, running independently under the leadership of Leslie and a committed neighborhood volunteer. The space also works in partnership with Gather New Haven to help with its garden beds.
Lots of energy on Truman Street tonight! Productive session watering the perennials in the Southwest corner garden, weeding and mulching the southwest corner garden, and weeding and mulching the Southeast corner garden. With lots of hands we were able to get a lot done. Looking forward to continuing to work our way around the garden space, cleaning up weedy areas, and providing mulch buffers.

Lots of weeding and mulching at the Truman Street Clean Green Project. The Southwest corner garden is starting to look really nice after turning the weeds and spreading a yard of pine mulch across the space. We also watered in previous week's plantings, and enjoyed some melon :)

Nice work at the Truman Street Community Garden last night. We gave a deep water to the southeast corner garden bed, where some of the newly planted perennials were starting to dry out. We also gave that bed a thorough weeding job- much needed to prevent mugwort invasion! Lastly, we used hoes to weed the front garden beds and clear up the pea-stone path from weeds starting to bust through.
