Led by Dana and Rachel, this volunteer group has immeasurably improved and beautified the Village landscape with native plantings and flowers that enhance previously bare and uninteresting spaces. But more than that - the group brings together people from all walks of life for a fun and productive endeavor. A real sense of community! I am proud and grateful to have participated in many of their planting days, and am looking forward to many more!”
