The Bump Out in Bloom

Beautification Committee member, Diane Smith, took these great photos of the Bently Bump Out, this past week.
Diane planned and planted much of this garden. She did replace the beach roses with "Knock Out Roses" for a season of continuous bloom This garden requires little care and little watering.
See the post below for the past history of the Bump Out. It is fun to see how a garden was started and how much it has filled in in the past three years.

Time to go to the beach

Ocean Beach Park is one great reason to live in New London, so get your sunscreen out, grab a towel, and head for the beach, that many of us grew up on. Feel like a child again, meet your friends, eat ice cream and be happy!!!

Make some new memories at Ocean Beach Park - A new video

The first day of summer is almost here! Let us hope the rain clears out and we can enjoy some of the fine things the beach has to offer.
The Beautification Committee has been working hard to have our largest garden site, the Hillside Garden, planted and ready to go. We have added a new stone bench this year.
Hope to see you all at the beach!!
