Helped install planters on N Main St right before Olney St. in Providence, RI. These help keep cars from driving illegally, making it safer for everyone on the street.

Thank you to those who helped @epicri.org plant a native pollinator garden today. We have officially adopted an island! Can’t wait to see it bloom. 🌼 🌳 Many thanks to the City of East Providence for letting us adopt an island & to @bloomrhodeisland.org for the grant to buy plants. 🩵

A group of seven people stands around a large stone with a plaque in a garden area near a residential street. The plaque reads "In Memory of Cpl. Edward Farina, United States Army" A small American flag and a decorative pinwheel are placed beside the stone. The group is dressed in casual clothing, with some wearing blue "EPIC" T-shirts and others in work gear, holding gardening tools like shovels. They appear to be participating in a community gardening or memorial project. In the background, there are houses, a stop sign, and a street sign for Hazelwood Ave.

#FlowerPeepingRI According to meteorologists, RI has endured the coldest average winter temps in a decade. So, snowdrops are out in sunnier spots but early crocuses that should already be blooming are delayed by 2 weeks. Look for tiny tips like these where you planted them they are coming!🌱🌱
