Town Crier Articles

 

Do you miss playing in the dirt?  Do you wish you knew more of your neighbors? Would you like to make our New Town neighborhoods more inviting with more color in our common areas?  Or would you just like to enjoy the outdoors and have some fun?  If you answered yes to any or all of these questions, then we have a new venture that you’re sure to love.  

 

Join a group of fun-loving nature enthusiasts who wish to create a sense of community through a variety of shared activities.   Beautifying our common areas with plantings is one goal, but other activities might include embarking on horticultural field trips, attending garden related educational events, or enjoying social outings, happy hours, or other forms of socialization and fun.  

 

The “Garden” part of this initiative will focus initially on Gateway projects - focusing on high visibility locations around New Town that say “welcome” and can be enjoyed by all New Town residents. There is limited funding available from the New Town Residential Association (NTRA), but with volunteers supplying the energy, ideas, and labor, we can stretch those dollars.  The “Party” part will evolve in accordance with the wishes of the group and “Never Ending” refers to the notion that participants may change over time, but the Garden Party itself, once established, will continue from year to year as new projects and activities are planned.  

 

Participation is open to all residents of New Town and absolutely no gardening expertise is required, just the willingness to bring ideas, pitch in and have fun.  Interested?  Join us for an organizational meeting on March 8th, 2022 at 4:00PM. Please RSVP to neverendinggardenparty@gmail.com. Once we have an idea of the group size, we will announce a location.   Together we can make our New Town neighborhoods even more beautiful and our community more welcoming.  And please let us know if you are interested, even if you cannot attend the initial meeting.
