Centennial Park
During the fall of 2023 VBH volunteers collaborated with The Parks and Recreation Department and the city to develop a planting plan for Centennial Park. With the generous support from the Hartford Area Foundation, together we purchased many trees and bushes. City employees planted all of it! Look for spring cherry blossoms, forsythia and ninebark. In fall beautiful Autumn blaze maples and gingko will be showstoppers. Holly, dogwood and evergreens will provide winter interest.
In summer of 2024 we were able to purchase 6 large self watering pots to be located around the park, This was made possible by generous sponsors for each planter. Again, the Hartford Foundation donation allowed us to plant colorful flowers.
Our volunteers continue to maintain flowers at Centennial Park.
