Gloucester won the America in Bloom “Outstanding Achievement in Flowers” award yesterday during the organization’s annual symposium! Generous Gardeners nominated Gloucester for our beautiful flowers in public spaces that continuously bloom for three seasons. America in Bloom is a national organization that supports community enhancement through beauty, pride in heritage, and volunteerism. Kudos to our Gloucester community, city government, and Generous Gardeners. For more information about America in Bloom, please visit https:www.americainbloom.org.

A change in weather
Yesterday was beautiful after a foggy start. Maybe the same will happen today.
Happy Labor Day
It’s still hard to believe September is here.


Police station update
The DPW finished the retaining wall, moved boulders, prepped the hill and added loam. Today the Generous Gardeners completed stage one of plantings.

Police station embankment project
DPW has been building a retaining wall to prevent further erosion of the hill, as well as make the parking lot safer, especially in the winter.

My tomatoes
A neighbor gave me a “spoon tomato” plant to grow. They’re really cute and easy eating!

Gorgeous Saturday
Not so hot, nice walking on the boulevard, and great shady spots for lunch. And two new favorite dahlias.

It’s the first time this beach season I’ve been here during the day. It is beautiful with so few visitors at a time.
