Saturday, April 30th from 10 am until noon
RAIN or SHINE
The Lefferts Manor Association will be planting the flower barrels lining the sidewalks Saturday, April 30th. [Containers in front yards and on stoops will not be planted. If you do not want your barrel to be planted, leave a note in it: DO NOT PLANT.]
Please make sure your barrels are ready for planting by clearing out debris and topping up with soil. New barrels are welcome, too.
Volunteer planters welcome! LMA Board members will be organizing volunteers for each block. Be ready with your gloves, trowels, and a bag for trash. Cars will bring flowers from the central depot to each block starting at 10 am.
Remember, your dues make this event possible!
The New York Times recently ran a nice article on our local PLG nursery, Kings County Nurseries. It discusses how the business has adapted to serve its many customers in our diverse neighborhood. Kings County Nurseries is located on New York Avenue between Rutland Road and Fenimore Street. They work closely with many local block associations to help them realize beautification projects. They are a good neighbor to all of Prospect Lefferts Gardens, and we are lucky to have them nearby.
Our fantastic neighborhood blog Hawthorne Street posted a reminder that kids under 12 can ride the Prospect Park Carousel free every Thursday this August. Astoria Federal Savings is sponsoring this event.
The Brownstoner blog’s Forum recently had a very informative discussion on the Lefferts Manor single-family covenant.
Last Tuesday, a Maple Street home in Lefferts Manor was featured as a Brownstoner "Building of the Day".
LMA recently received this from the Citizens Committee for New York City; Pinky Vincent is their Director of External Affairs:
Wish your block were tree-lined? Have a great location in the neighborhood in mind for a tree? Let us know! Citizens Committee for New York City is partnering with The MillionTreesNYC campaign to ensure that neighborhoods across the city get trees. We’ll provide the trees, supplies and training if you and your neighbors, colleagues and friends are wiling to provide the volunteer hours needed to plant and care for the trees. If you are interested, please answer the following questions and contact Pinky Vincent at 212-989-0909 or by email at: pvincent@citizensnyc.org Continue reading ‘Trees Available’
