I’ve been batting around this idea for a couple of weeks now.
There is a strip of grass to the right of the East Gloucester Richdale Store. The area is just begging for a strip of flowering trees to be planted there. I honestly believe that with a few trees planted on this small lot it would give the entire neighborhood there a newly revitalized feel. I never really noticed the strip of grass, it always seemed like all pavement but with the addition of some flowering cherrys on chanticlear pear trees it could be spectacular.
Here’s the idea- the GMG Bumper stickers remain completely free but if you would like to donate $1 or a couple dollars for one I will keep a running total in the right hand column of any donations toward the purchase of the trees for the strip of grass.
If anyone would like to donate toward that cause just bring whatever dough you feel would be appropriate for your budget.
Imagine for just a few measly bucks you could be part of something that would be there for the rest of your life, passing by and actually benefiting from the beauty created by your small donation.
Oh, and don’t feel funny if you take a sticker and not donate. Not a problem at all.
I’ll start the fund out with $20 of my money just to put my money where my mouth is. Hell I’ll get far more than $20 worth of enjoyment watching the trees grow year after year knowing I might have been part of making it happen. So look in the right hand column for the running total.
Good Morning Gloucester
