Growing Greener with Green & Grow
During February vacation week, the Green & Grow Apprentices embarked on an unforgettable three day excursion to the White Mountains of New Hampshire where they climbed mountains, met with National Forest Service Professionals, explored their sense of self, and conquered their fears.
What’s in Bloom
Our spring cleanups have begun and we already have to tread lightly over the fragile bulb foliage coming up under foot. Our whole staff is looking forward to the display this spring, with 10 different varieties of alliums, drifts of daffodils and crocus, and a number of other bulbs planted in our parks.
Growing Greener with Green & Grow
One of the goals of the Green & Grow Apprenticeship program is to foster the development of a healthy and meaningful connection to our natural world. In essence, we bring this connection to work with us every day. The Apprentices are taking part in a number of activities to prepare them for their primary nature excursion—set to take place in the White Mountains of New Hampshire.
Growing Greener with Green & Grow
Green & Grow participants learn an eco-friendly alternative to discarding our organic waste in landfills by taking part in a hands-on workshop, where they brewed their own compost tea with the help of Greenway Horticulture staff.
Meet the Market
The Greenway Open Market is now accepting vendor applications for the 2012 season. As we anticipate the return of this vibrant Saturday market, its talented artisans and their handmade wares, we will feature interviews with a few of the vendors you can expect to see back on the Greenway this summer.
Dewey Square Park Update
The immediate remediation work at Dewey Square Park will conclude today, and the remainder of the restoration work will wait for warmer spring temperatures. We look forward to reopening the park soon, following the Boston Police Department’s decision to remove the barriers. Visitors are encouraged to use the paths through the park as the lawn will be roped off to allow the new sod to take root.
Dewey Square : The Park Returns
The Conservancy will return Dewey Square Park to the public again this week after restorations with a new temporary lawn and continued programming – we look forward to welcoming back the hundreds of daily visitors to eat lunch, buy produce, and enjoy the park!
What’s in Bloom
As the last full month of fall draws to a close, our deciduous trees are almost completely bare and we are working to prepare the garden beds for winter by cutting back perennials and cleaning up the fallen leaves. Take advantage of these beautiful days by getting outside to admire the changing landscape.
What’s in Bloom
The Greenway is still ablaze with vibrant fall colors, so don’t delay in coming to take an autumn stroll through the parks.
What’s in Bloom
As winter approaches many people dreading the dreary upcoming months may dismiss the idea of a beautiful winter landscape. We still have a few weeks left of fall color, but as our trees and shrubs lose their leaves and the perennials are cut down or covered with a blanket of snow, beautiful aspects of plants that may have previously been hidden will be revealed.
