Celebrate the Earth by Keeping Greenfield Green!

This Saturday, April 26^th, is the annual Roadside Roundup organized by the Greenfield Conservation Commission.  Look for your bluebags to arrive in the mail this week or pick up a supply of bags at the Recycling Center. 

 

While the official roadside clean up is this Saturday, you can pick up trash anytime over the next several weeks and bring your blue bags to the special, blue-bag dumpster at the Recycling Center.  The dumpster is provided free of charge to the town so use those blue bags and that dumpster to clean up our roads without any additional charge to the town.

 

When you’re done for the day on Saturday, come down to the Meeting House for a free Ham and Bean supper hosted by the Woman’s Club.  Dinner begins at 5:30pm.  Dinner will be topped off with Hayward’s ice cream and the drawing of free raffle prizes.  We’re giving away some really great prizes donated by very general local merchants and your chances of winning something are much better than the multistate lottery!!  The Planning Board will also provide a short slideshow and brief presentation of the upcoming charrette.

 

Don’t miss the fun and reap the rewards of your hard work keeping Greenfield green!

 

Thanks and hope to see you on Saturday, April 26^th

Three CHEERS

for our talented and devoted GIVers volunteers!  If you missed Town Meeting, they presented a locally sourced and built Podium to the Town.  See it on the front page of the recent Spirit.  Next time you drive by Oak Park send them happy thoughts as you admire the new signage they provided.
So many ways they make our community MORE.

Variety Show Saturday

It's the "don't miss" event of the year - Greenfield's own talent show at the Meeting House at 7:00 on Saturday, April 13.  Admission is only $2 plus an item for the food bank and, based on past performances, it is worth every cent!  Come and support your friends and neighbors.  Forget American Idol - the real talent is in Greenfield.

It's time to start planting!

Would you like to grow your own fresh, organic vegetables, fruit and flowers?

Don’t have the space, enough sun, or maybe the know-how?

Why not join the Greenfield community gardeners?  We are a group of enthusiastic gardeners, some with years of experience, others new to growing vegetables, but all enjoying the opportunity to grow together in the sunny community garden by the Town Offices.

Raised beds (4’ x 8’) all ready to be planted cost a one-time fee of $50.  A small number of lower cost or free beds are also available. 
Call Diane Boilard at 547 6662 for more information.
