Fall Clean Up
Nov 10, 2024​
Wonderful crew at the garden today! On the second Sunday of each month, Love ALLiancechurch chooses a community service activity instead of having service. This month they joined with Frederick Douglass Neighborhood Association joined up to do a little fall cleanup and prepare the garden beds for winter. ��� It was a beautiful day! #community City of Brockton
Reading Douglass Together
July 13, 2024
We had a nice turn out in spite of the showers. The big tent definitely helped! Readers of all ages participated including a 5th grader who read in Portuguese! Our VP Cynthia Hodges of Lady C&J Soulfood & Catering INC. brought her ice cream truck so we were able to give out free treats to our guests! It was a great day.
Summer Improvements & Volunteers
June 2024
Hello Friends! We have been busy over the last several weeks working on the garden and then, on June 7, an amazing thing happened! We received a generous donation from The Home Depot Foundation, G.Norwood Garden Center, Seones, Tri-Town Construction, LLC of plants, mulch, soil, and stone to beautify the garden for Juneteenth and future events. A special shout out to FDNA Vice President, Cynthia McCall-hodges, who made the connections for all that to be possible!
A team from Frederick Douglass Neighborhood Association, Messiah Baptist Church, and faithful members of the community SHOWED UP and worked so hard on a hot day to get everything installed. You will notice there's a nice combination of perennials and annuals to complement the existing plants! Even two Haitian men who were walking by offered to help. Truly an amazing community effort. Did I mention the team who has been WATERING?!! Firestone graciously gave us permission to use their faucet so we can hook up a hose when we need to water!
This morning a team of us added more mulch and used a pressure washer to try and remove the graffiti from the wall. We made progress!
THANK YOU again to all who have generously offered their time and commitment to the garden. It makes a difference in our community!
"Keep Brockton Beautiful Day"
May 18, 2024
Had some helpers today as we worked at the Frederick Douglass Garden for the citywide “Keep Brockton Beautiful” event! Fairway Landscaping even brought a crew who donated their time to mow and trim the garden. So great seeing the kids and adults working side by side!
