Holly Grove Restoration – Phase II

November 12, 2016 @ 9:30 am - 1:30 pm

Join the Friends of Greenwich Point and help complete Phase II of the restoration of the Holly Grove!

The Holly Grove, planted in 1959, was a gift to Greenwich Point by Mr. & Mrs. Kitchel in celebration of their 50th wedding anniversary. Twenty-one holly species were planted and while time has seen many of them thrive, time has also taken a toll on the Grove. In celebration of the Friends of Greenwich Point’s 60th anniversary we are working with the town to restore the Holly Grove.  This project seemed fitting as Mrs. Kitchel was instrumental in the formation of the Friends of Greenwich Point (formerly known as the Greenwich Point Committee).

Phase II, scheduled for this Saturday involves the final push to remove all ground debris and invasive vines and plants from the far edges of the grove.

Please bring work gloves, pruners, loppers and a friend or two. All ages are welcome.
For more information, email the Friends of Greenwich Point at info@friendsofgreenwichpoint.org
