Haverhill's Brightside

More wonderful beautification projects happening in town. This one was at the Daughters of the Revolution monument in GAR Park.

Thank you to Corinne (DAR) and Meg who planted some coneflowers and hydrangeas along with some Black-eyed Susan seeds. They’ll be returning in the fall to plant some daffodil and tulip bulbs and mums too! Thank you to City of Haverhill Mayor's Office - Official and Haverhill, MA DPW who not only assisted in coordinating this but made sure everything was safe by calling Dig Safe. Haverhill's Brightside is so happy to work with folks like this.

Thank you to Lake Street Garden Ctr & Home Depot for donating the plants, soil & mulch.

And while they were there, they found 2 four-leaf clovers and gave 1 to me. Lucky!!

Volunteers do so much in our city. It truly takes a village! 🌼🌎🍀

We received these “thank you” art sheets from students at the Walnut Square Elementary School thanking us for the trees that were planted there this past Arbor Day.

Didn’t they do a fantastic job on their coloring and their kind words? We love it when kids are involved and see the importance of having trees and green spaces around. Thank you Maro, Jaive, Lyla and William!

Thank you City of Haverhill Mayor's Office - Official, Haverhill, MA DPW and Dave LaBrode for making this happen. We want to keep Haverhill a great Tree City and example for others to follow. 🌳🌲🌳👩🏽‍🏫🧑🏼‍🏫👨🏻‍🏫☮️

Thank you all!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to our awesome Haverhill, MA DPW (Nick and Steve) and Ray from Lowe’s Landscaping for putting down fresh loam and seed to correct the vandalism that was done to this adopted park a few weeks ago.

We’re truly fortunate to have people like them! We appreciate you! 🌱
