CHCA Spring Cleaning Day

We had a wonderful CHCA Spring Cleaning Day
on Franklin Avenue in April

Thank you to all who volunteered
especially everyone from
Bed Stuy’s Project Re-Generation, Inc. (PR-G)

HOMEOWNERS – Checkout the PR-G Foot Soldiers, they offer great sidewalk clean up services and employ local youth!!!

See more pictures on our FaceBook page and if you are a resident or merchant on Franklin Avenue, don’t forget to water the plants.

Flowers on Franklin: May

A week ago we had another successful “Flowers on Franklin”.

This time we planted from Prospect to Bergen.
We hope you are enjoying the plantings, if you notice some of the beds on your block are dry, give them some water and encourage the businesses to water as well.
