GreenScape

GreenScape is a City of Annapolis and community partnership investment of beautification, clean-up, and planting in public spaces throughout the City (the Annapolis version of Earth Day). For three decades, hundreds of projects have been initiated and adopted by individuals, community groups, and neighborhood associations. GHCA and some neighboring friends have set up special activities within our neighborhood to coordinate with the the City’s GreenScape event. Help us to plan for the day by signing up when and where you’d like to work. It’s a great opportunity to meet your neighbor and work cooperatively toward a community beautification goal!

This year’s Greenscape is Saturday, April 22, starting at 9:00 am.

So, Gardeners, Hoist your pruners, Pull on your gloves, March to the Mad Song of Spring. For GHCA, it has been for many, many years a bacchanalia of clipping, planting, mulching, chit-chat, having a cold water, and the satisfaction of seeing our public spaces tended to.

All are invited to engage in the following projects:

1. The S. Cherry Grove Bridge will be led by Jim Martin. Meet at the bridge at 9 am.
2. Poplar and Glen beds will be captained by Bob Waldman; meet at the intersection at 9 am.
3. Clean-up of Bulletin Board Plaza and the hosta garden under the crepe myrtles is looking for a leader.
4. If there are any other projects you would like to undertake, please email [email protected] and Customer Service will take prompt care of you.

By the way, the City pays for the annual and perennial plants, shrubs, trees, and mulch. A plant list can be viewed here. Orders are due March 8th! We will do the pickup and drop off to your project.
