This planting was jointly funded by the Union Church, the Windermere Garden Club, the West Orange Bloom and Grow Garden Club and the Windermere Tree Board. The Windermere Garden Club hosted the program. Another planned activity is a general beautification project which will plant 83 trees in the area bounded by 1st and 5th Avenues between Forest and Oakdale Streets. Additionally, a group of Tree Board volunteers is currently clearing vines, scrub trees and brush from Johnson Park, which is just south of 6th Avenue at Lake Bessie. Plantings will be done in the future, resulting in a beautiful park with a nice view of the lake.
Additional workers are always welcome.
