Jersey City Beautification: Flower Boxes on Newark Ave

Del — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 17:45:16 +0000

If you’ve walked along Newark Avenue, you probably have seen this plant/flower boxes installed at the cross-streets. The photos above (taken last month, Jul 29) are flower boxes from India Square, between JFK and Tonnelle Avenue.

I am not sure how far East the boxes are installed, but I have seen them past John F. Kennedy Boulevard and Five Corners.

Is there any other part of Journal Square that has these flowerpots?

By the way, one report says plants disappear from the boxes on West Side Avenue in Jersey City.

I’ve learned that the planting event last week, Saturday (May 9, 2009), on the square was a success. It was over when I came but I got the chance to meet Mr. Chris Bernardo, Operations Manager of Journal Square SID, and he shared some pictures of the event.

Local volunteers from the Journal Square neighborhood and Community Solutions plant flowers in Journal Square

Via email, Chris reminded me of another cleanup event, this time at the Old Bergen Church: “if you’re around this Saturday, come join us at the Old Bergen Church cemetery on the corner of Bergen and Highland…we’re doing a clean-up with volunteers from the Hudson County Genealogy Society and Community Solutions…the event will be from 9am-12pm.” (Del: Is Speer Cemetery included?)

So if you’re free this weekend morning, checkout the group and volunteer. (Don’t forget, Saturday is also the “2nd Annual Everything Jersey City Festival” which starts at 11AM.)
