Hebrew Cultural Garden Reports on 2010 Activities

Posted by on February 24th, 2011
  • Annual Brunch and Bloom volunteer event attracted over 100 people in mid-June to plant annuals and some perennials as well as generally clean-up the Garden.
  • Worked with various volunteer groups during the season to clean-up more than Brunch and Bloom was able to accomplish
  • Replaced broken, original sandstone pavers in two sections:  1) Between East Blvd sidewalk and stairs entering core of Garden; 2) from foot of the East Blvd entrance stairs to the center of the core Garden area.  Used extra thick concrete to withstand large utility trucks, tinted to match existing sandstone, and cut to resemble the original sandstone slabs.  Areas were also raised above adjacent soil to prevent soil creep onto the walk areas.  Used broken sandstone to replace some missing pavers.  Will be distributing more of the broken sandstone in the Garden during 2011.
  • Began the process of replacing seven (7) of the 27 total bronze plaques that are missing.  The seven being replaced are the largest and are in the most prominent areas of the Garden.  Installation of the seven replacement plaques expected in June, 2011.
