The North End is Getting Greener!

Dayna, North End Resident and Reader

“I look forward to the always-prompt delivery of the next edition to my mailbox, and to receiving the email alerting me to its availability! I so appreciate that there remains a local community paper at a time when so many others have ceased publication. It’s been a great introduction to the North End!”

“Being a part of the North End Breezes board for the past two years has been a privilege. The team does amazing work within the community and serves as a resource hub for all. They are committed, and most importantly, passionate about preserving the North End’s legacy, while also continuing to foster its growth. Whether you are new to the area, or a longtime resident, I encourage you to volunteer with the Breezes in some capacity if you’re able. This team is small but mighty and they are always looking for more support. I’m grateful for the relationships and community I’ve been able to build while serving on the board.

I’ll be joining Welcome Inn as the Executive Director and look forward to taking on a new role in the North End Community while staying connected to The Breezes. “

Join us at a Garden Day and Native Plant Giveaway

Rain Date: Saturday, October 26⋅10:30am – 12:00pm

Meet Green Venture staff who can tell you which plants would do well in your space and learn about the different programs to help you live a greener life. Drop in for some plants and family-friendly activities. Registration link coming soon! Watch social media at The North End Breezes.

Green Venture, along with St. Lawrence Parish and North End Breezes will be installing a demonstration pollinator garden at St. Lawrence Parish. This will add community greenspaces at a time when climate change is causing increased flooding, extreme heat and poor air and water quality, which are disproportionately negatively affecting the most vulnerable in our community. This garden will improve water and air quality by reducing stormwater runoff and filtering pollutants, increase biodiversity by planting native pollinator species and add shade and community gathering spaces.

Green Venture will have experts on-site demonstrating how native plants can be adopted more broadly by community members, businesses and on private property. We welcome residents to ask their gardening questions.
