Recap of National Make a Difference Dig, aka Jersey City’s “THE BIG DIG”, Sat 10/22/11
This citywide event was a major collaboration by Mayor Healy, the JC Parks Coalition, City Hall, the Div of Cultural Affairs, the Dept of Public Works. 17,000 bulbs were planted in 80 locations throughout the city. After the hard work, all volunteers were invited for lunch and free admission by the Liberty Science Center.
A big THANK YOU goes to the Group Captains, Co-Captains and volunteers who turned out for this enormous event
Enos Jones Park Captain Jenny Jobarteh organized 6 volunteers and 12 Daisy Scouts. Prior to the Big Dig, they tilled and prepared beds for planting 200 narcissus bulbs in the raised bed at the Brunswick St entrance.
Hamilton Park Captain Jan Nordland and more than 50 volunteers consisting of neighbors, students, parents & children from the Garden Preschool, Hamilton Park Montessori School, Cordero School, the Scandinavian School, and McNair Academic H.S. They planted 600 bulbs, weeded, and picked up trash in the park.
Watch for the spring blooms in the circular community garden in the SE corner of the park, adjacent to the splash park, the playground East entrance, and along the South walkway.
The HPNA donated water and juice boxes for the volunteers at Hamilton Park and Enos Jones Park.
