Lefferts Manor Flower Barrel Planting This Saturday

Saturday, May 4th from 10 am until noon RAIN or SHINE

2012 Lefferts Manor Association Flower Barrel Planting
The Lefferts Manor Association will be planting the flower barrels lining the sidewalks Saturday, May 4th. (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.

Need a new barrel? Kings County Nursery (New York Avenue and Fenimore) has the real deal, wood whiskey barrels for a price of $50 to Manor Residents.

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.

Email LeffertsSupport@gmail.com if you have any questions or to volunteer services.

Remember, your dues make this event possible!
