Love Your Park – Volunteer November 13th
It’s November, but we’re not quite done.
Volunteer a couple of hours this Saturday, November 13th, for Fairmount’s “Love Your Park” Day.
Meet 9am at the pocket park here, at the intersection of Canton and Wright Streets. We’ll rake out the area, tend the hostas we planted this spring, and add a set of mums for some late fall color.
From there, we’ll move to Germany Hill — which looks spectacularly better since last season — and we’ll get a head start on pushing back next year’s vines and prepping the corner of Smick and Fountain Streets for planting.
See you out there!

From Blaise Syrnick, who — with Annie Scott — masterminded the effort:
Yahoooo! — Congratulations everyone!
Fountain Street Steps won Third Place in The Pennsylvania Horticultural Society’s Small Community Flower category of their 2010 City Garden Contest.
We should be very proud of ourselves; it took a lot of hard work from all of us to get this award. Each one of you played a huge part in achieving this award.

Fountain Street Steps gets a Rain Barrel
To help with storm water runoff, PWD donated a rain barrel to the Fountain Street Steps. Once a platform was made to level out the area, installation was a breeze. Many thanks to PWD!
