We continue the Hartford Public Works classes on best practices in public park management, the focus is now on increasing biodiversity. We refurbish the Windsor Avenue and Pond House entrances with native trees and shrubs. In partnership with Bartlett Trees, we complete the planting of an allée of 10 Japanese Lilac trees which complements the existing Japanese Lilacs at the Woodland Street entrance. With an additional Partnership for Plants grant we also added bulbs and low maintenance underplantings to the allée. At the same entrance, we plant three River Birch trees to the renovated traffic circle and with help from local school children plant spring bulbs underneath. This basically completes the club’s eight-year project to restore native landscapes, install pollinator plantings and improve signage to this historic park.
