RED BANK – The friends of Riverside Gardens will meet at the park on Front Street from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, April 4, to help clean up the rose beds.
Volunteers have been tending to the Riverside Gardens’ rose beds for years. The rose beds had suffered from years of neglect and volunteers spent hours cutting back the roses, removing dead wood, weeding and digging out invasive vine. Scouts, high school students, and community members have worked at the gardens dozens of times throughout the growing season. All this hard work pays off and the roses flower beautifully every spring and summer for months on end.
All members of the community are invited to join in helping to maintain and improve this valuable public treasure. Volunteers should wear warm clothes and work gloves. Bottled water will be provided.
