Society for Clinton Hill 2008 Mulchfest

Mulch that Christmas Tree and Help the Park

Dear Friends, those who love our Fort Greene Park, those who want to live greener, and everyone else:

Take your used Christmas tree to the Community Garden entrance on Washington Avenue between Gates and Greene, on Saturday or Sunday, January 10th or 11th. From there, it will be taken to Fort Greene Park for a huge chipping session where there will be refreshments for all provided by Provisions, located on Fulton Street. Bring the kids and dogs for a good, end-of-holiday-season get-together. And, best of all, the mulch will be used right there in our own Fort Greene Park to protect and nourish our trees and shrubs.

So, take a few minutes and bring your and your neighbor’s trees to the entrance of the Hollenback Community Garden on Saturday or Sunday, January 10 or 11.

This project is sponsored by the Fort Greene Park Conservancy, the Society for Clinton Hill and the Fort Greene Association

All the best in 2009
