"Tower Get Your GROOVE Back" Beautification Seminar Delights Captive Audience
Hosted by Tower Grove Neighborhoods Community Development Corporation, and presented by Tower Grove South's very own Hannah Reinhart, the "Tower get your GROOVE back" beautification seminar highlighted the importance of landscaping to support the ecosystem and to beautify our neighborhoods. Hannah also discussed the importance and opportunities to build relationships/strengthen community through community gardening.
Hannah has extensive vegetable and ornamental growing experience rooted in farm, community and backyard garden settings. She volunteers to lead the Tower Grove South community garden group, formerly located at Mann Elementary and currently working to secure a new garden site for the 2015 season. One of her day-job duties in her position as Garden Program Director at Gateway Greening is to coordinate the annual Great Perennial Divide, a free plant distribution event available to Gateway Greening member gardens.
