Community Meeting: August 2023
Over the past couple of months we have been going through the contracting process with the Department of Public Works which requires us to work with a city-approved landscape firm to ensure we follow the many requirements that come with the Community Challenge Grant (CCG). We will share this information and the plan at a SMP Greening Community Challenge Grant kick-off meeting. This meeting will be an opportunity to hear from experts about the best plants for median projects and provide any feedback. Join us Monday, August 28 from 6:30-8:00pm via Zoom. Email smpgreening@gmail.com for login information. To make sure your neighbors get this information, encourage them to sign-up for the SMP Greening newsletter by clicking below or email us at smpgreening@gmail.com.

This fun and interactive neighborhood open house at the St. Mary's Park Recreation Center was open to everyone. Informative posters adorned the walls and SMP Greening Core Team members were available to answer questions. A huge thanks to Core Team members for designing the posters (amazing talent!), supplying pizza and being present for the full event.
In advance of the event, we placed flyers in all 350+ St. Mary's Park resident mailboxes and emailed the SMP Greening email list announcing the event.
