Yesterday was Phase I of our very first Beautification Event. I have to admit that initially I was very disappointed at some negative e-mails towards my want to beautify the park, the lack of response, and the lack of folks that showed up, however, it all turned out absolutely wonderful! It was a HUGE task but we completed it!
The people that did show and the folks that stopped by to drop off water and donate flowers was great. We had about 10 yards of topsoil and 10 yards of mulch delivered by the town yesterday morning and we moved it all by wheelbarrow to the area where the large bush was removed early this spring per my request. The town also brought in a stump and root remover and ground that all up for our event. As you frequent the park you will see the great job the folks that came to help out did. It is a start. There was no way we could do the entire park yesterday; as it was, we worked from 11am till 5:30pm on just the Morris Ave side. If we had more folks, we definitely could have gotten a lot more done.

SachemPatch.com was also in attendance at our event and did a story on Dorchester Park. You can read about it on SachemPatch.com. See link at top right of our Blog.
I want to personally from the bottom of my heart thank the folks that came to help out and drop off supplies. I know we are all sore today! Thank you for caring about this park; I hope that one day it will be as beautiful as we envision it to be.
Your Neighborhood Watch Captain
