To give you some background on how the event will be structured, we are inviting high school students to come out and work with our office and the Botanic Gardens to help beautify the community, in particular by focusing on cleaning and mulching tree beds all along Washington Avenue as well as within the Botanic Gardens, in particular their Oak Tree field dedicated to victims of September 11th. This will be a day of service and education, while paying homage to those that lost their lives on September 11th.
