The stores are lush with plants, and our residents are seen working in their yards cleaning the winter debris from their gardens preparing to restore their beauty. The Narrowsburg Beautification Group (NBG) will assist in your endeavors and provide additional plant material for your gardens at the annual plant swap on Saturday, June 4 at 9 a.m. Come to the Mews on Main Street. Bring plants that have multiplied in your gardens beyond your needs and swap for another plant. Don’t have plants of your own? No problem. You are free to pick up plants for your gardens and leave a donation. Your donation benefits the beautification efforts of the NBG.

This year the NBG will be competing with U.S. communities of similar size in the America in Bloom contest. Several years ago, a Sullivan Renaissance judge suggested our town would be a strong competitor in this nationwide contest. The NBG looks forward to the challenge and will work hard to make the hamlet beautiful and proudly show the judges our town when they visit in July.

Town beauty starts with clean roadways. The annual Litterpluck Day will be Saturday, June 11. This is the day residents volunteer to clean the roadways of debris. At 9 a.m. you may pick up bags and safety vests at the library. The trash collected will be disposed by the town, and the Tusten Highway Department will provide a truck, available for the weekend, for you to deposit your filled bags. The efforts of volunteers are visible. Please participate.

Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 18. You will have an opportunity to rid your own homes of trash. Up to one pick-up truck filled with trash may be brought to the highway barn for disposal at no cost. Also on this day, you may bring documents you wish to have shredded. The shredding truck will be available in the library parking lot. A reminder will be provided in this column at next printing.

Clearly, it is spring cleaning time.
