Helped install planters on N Main St right before Olney St. in Providence, RI. These help keep cars from driving illegally, making it safer for everyone on the street.

This is so exciting! Congrats to Councilor AnderBois and the @pvdstreets.bsky.social team for bringing joy...and traffic calming...to North Main Street in Providence.
Adding beautiful and sturdy safety features to North Main this morning w/ friends from the Providence Streets Coalition & Ward 3 neighbors! Inspiring to see folks dedicating their time to improving our community!

Special thanks to Bloom RI who supported this installation!

Hope Springs is here! You can request spring flower bulbs and corms from Bloom Rhode Island as part of our annual give-away, until Sept 1! If you can plant in a publicly accessible place in CF, EP, Pawtucket, PVD, or Woonsocket, let's get planting, together!

Finally got to weeding the @epicri.org traffic island in East Providence!
Plants from @pricklyedscactus.bsky.social and @bloomrhodeisland.org are looking good (we made it through the massive heat!). Watch for plant ID signage and a bespoke birdhouse coming to the space.

#flowerPeepingRI friends shared these Grape Hyacinth lovelies today from Providence. Grape hyacinth is not actually a grape but is in the Muscari genus and is in the same family as asparagus! Not edible like asparagus so enjoy them with your eyes and your camera, then share your finds with us!🌱🌺
