Pease Avenue resident Ed Corvo is heading up a team of enthusiastic North End residents who are transforming the corner of High Street and Erin Street into an oasis of beauty.  Plots are almost gone in the community garden site which opened in May.  The City of Middletown has made the lot available to NEAT, Middletown Police and Public Works removed junk cars and debris, Baldwin Lawn Furniture has donated an arbor to place at the entrance to the site, the EPPCO/Ferguson Company of Newington has donated a hydrant which was installed by personnel from the Water and Sewer Department.  The Middlesex County Community Foundation and the Middletown Garden Club have provided financial support for the project and Stephen Cremin-Endes from Nehemiah Housing Corporation has been the head rototiller and volunteers from the Middlesex Master Gardener Program are providing technical support. 

 
Children attending the Macdonough School site of Kids Corner are working a plot along with residents from Mazzotta Place, Pearl Street, Erin Street, Lincoln Street and beyond. 

If you would like to help with the garden, have tools or other gardening supplies to donate, or would like a plot in the garden call NEAT at 346-4845.  This garden also has a website and a list serve.  To visit the garden's website or to join the list serve, click HERE.
