Vermont Avenue Garden (Work!) Party on Saturday, September 26

The U Street Neighborhood Association's Clean and Green Committee and green-thumbed member Jeffrey Willis are once again heading up the neighborhood's ongoing efforts to keep Vermont Avenue looking as good throughout the year and invite you to join us for a new fall edition of the "Vermont Avenue Garden (work!) Party" this Saturday, September 26 from 9 am to 12 noon.

Volunteers will gather at 9 am at the African American Civil War Memorial, located at the corner of Vermont Avenue and U Street, NW.

We will be planting roses, perennials, and flowering pansies.  The bigger the turnout - the more we can plant.  Work will take place in the quarter-mile of public gardens in the meridian of Vermont Avenue, NW from Florida Avenue to S Street, NW.

 

Saturday's project is being funded by generous donations from Urban Brokers and the African American Civil War Memorial.  Volunteers will also enjoy the generosity of our neighborhood businesses:  breakfast courtesy of Nellie's Sports Bar, lunch and beverages courtesy of Duffy's Irish Pub and Restaurant, and beverages courtesy of the 9:30 Club.

As this is an all-volunteer event, your help is crucial.  We have the funding; now we need the workers.  Will you join us to make your neighborhood even better?  If you can, please let us know you're coming by emailing the U Street Neighborhood Association at:  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

About 5 years ago, neighbors partnered with DC Greenworks and others to replace a quarter-mile stretch of concrete medians on Vermont Avenue between Florida Avenue and S Street, NW with gardens.  Over 50 trees, 500 ornamental grasses, hundreds of perennials, seasonal flowers, plants, and several new crosswalks were installed.
