On March 14th, many braved the cold and rain to attend Spring Planting 2015 where they learned about vegetable and flower gardening, neighborhood “green” initiatives, and even about making a healthy smoothie! Presented by Foundation for a Green Future and Green Neighbors Education Committee, Inc. and free to the public, the event, which took place at the Menino Community Center in Roslindale, featured a variety of vendors and non-profit groups. GreeningRozzie was one of the co-sponsors.
The Friends of Healy Field unveiled the recently approved plan for a community garden at the field.
A Boston Climate Action Network volunteer gave out free perennial collard plants.

Trevor Harrigan, of Green Neighbors Education Committee, Inc., listened intently as Pam Sinotte of GreeningRozzie explained that while a Styrofoam container that once held mushrooms can’t go into the recycling bin, it can be used for seed starting.

Ellen Fine’s healthy smoothies table was by far one of the more popular. Children from the Menino Community Center Afterschool Program helped make the smoothies.

The children also learned about planting.
