GARDENING 2005: Fall Cleanup
Members and volunteers helped to clean up the perennial gardens by raking leaves and trash. Plants were labeled for identification and bulbs were planted. Then we tackled the gardens around the gazebo which wasn't quite as fun. This dense and litter filled area got a face lift as we significantly cut back the overgrown shrubs and filled bags with trash, clothing, licquer bottles, a needle, and what appeared to be stolen merchandise ink tags. Because the area was so dense you couldn't see behind the bushes or the activity that took place out of sight. The area was cleaned up and we'll be back again next spring to tackle it again.
Day Trip to Metropolitan Museum of Art
The Friends of Hamilton Park are planning a day trip to visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC on Saturday January 7th.
The Plan:
We'll meet up at Basic coffee shop on the corner of 8th & Erie at 9:00 AM. We'll walk to the PATH and hop on the NYC subway. Once inside the MET you may stay with us as we tour the museum or you may break off on your own. We plan to return back to Jersey City around 4:00 pm.
Lunch:
We'll set a time to meet up for lunch. You can either bring a packed lunch or purchase food at the Met.
Cost:
There is no charge to join us for the day trip, except for your own transportation fees. The museum will ask for a suggested donation at the door. Anyone is welcome to join us for the MET day trip.
If you're interested in going with us, remember to meet us at Basic no later than 9:00 AM on Saturday January 7th and bring a little cash for your travel, lunch and admission to the MET.
