Town Civic Committe

THANK YOU to the 25 GCOG volunteers helped Summer of 2020

Safe Social Distancing

Our members weed, water, and deadhead at 7 AM and after 7 PM

Safe Social Distancing

It’s cooler then too!

Watering

Our members carry hundreds of pounds of water every week.

Watering

Did you know that water weighs eight pounds a gallon?

Watering

Window boxes need the most water. They have less soil, so it holds less moisture and it dries out more quickly.

Watering

Faucets and hoses are available at some local merchants.

Plants

GCOG members have contributed plants from their own gardens for the sidewalk beds and planters.

The Plants

We use a variety of small shrubs, perennials, and annuals.

The Plants

In May, GCOG spent $1,400 on plants to fill the 65 planters and 17 sidewalk beds.

The Plants

We think it’s worth it!

Pots at the Port of Entry Garden

We wanted the walk home from the train station to be a pleasant one, so we turned the island into a garden.
