The hellstrip—also known as a parking strip or p The hellstrip—also known as a parking strip or planting strip—is finally getting the attention it deserves. Hellstrip gardening adds curb appeal to your home, and sedges offer a grasslike ground cover that is beautiful, adaptive, and easy to maintain. Their deep roots absorb water, stabilize soil, and support more ecosystem function. 

See for yourself the six types of sedges used to replace turf where it was not needed at this home, and what “living mulch” looks like in practice.
 
Meet neighbors in an inspiring space, share information with knowledgeable people, and take part in the Healthy Yards community campaign to create resilient landscapes in private gardens and public spaces. 

We look forward to seeing you on Sunday! 🦋🌱🌎✌️

🗓 Sunday, November 13, 2022
🕞 3:30 - 4:30 pm
📍 464 Esplanade, Pelham Manor, NY

DON’T TRASH those Halloween pumpkins. SMASH them DON’T TRASH those Halloween pumpkins. SMASH them! 💥

Bring your pumpkins, jack-o-lanterns, and gourds this Saturday, November 5th, anytime between 10 am - 2 pm, to the Food Scrap Recycling Drop-Off Site behind Village Hall (195 Sparks Avenue).

💥 Toss and smash them at this fun, green post-Halloween scene and learn more about Pelham’s Food Scrap Recycling Program, Pelham Healthy Yards, and EcoPel initiatives.

✅ The Pumpkin Smash will divert Pelham’s seasonal organic waste from landfills so pumpkins can be recycled into soil as compost. Compost is a natural soil fortifier that helps store carbon, reduce carbon dioxide emissions, and grow healthier plants. 

If you cannot make the timing of this event, you can still take action to support Pelham’s sustainability and reduce our waste stream:
🎃 Cut up your pumpkins and drop them into the Food Scrap Recycling large green toters anytime
🎃 Compost pumpkins in your own yard

Painted pumpkins are accepted at the Pumpkin Smash and in the Food Scrap bins. Please remove all decorations and candles. 

🚫 Do not place pumpkins in curbside leaf piles because they cannot be mixed with yard waste.

We look forward to seeing you for a SMASHING good time!
