Dirt Day 2017
Every year since 1978, the Association has purchased quality soil for residents to use in their gardens, flower pots, and yards. This is our 40th year helping Southwood Park gardeners! On May 13th, we are having 12 cubic yards of quality tri-mix soil from Felger's Peat Moss delivered. All you have to do is take your wheelbarrow to the sites and get what you need!But it has been very rainy this spring! To avoid the Dirt Day from becoming "Mud Day", we are pushing it one week later. This event is typically held the first Saturday of May, but it will be the Saturday of Mother's Day weekend this year. If there is another weather-related delay, we will announce plans here and on Facebook.
Two locations are new this year. We are picking some of the wider street areas. By popular demand, we will have a site in Section B this year! There will be three dirt pickup sites:
- Indiana Avenue at Maxine Drive
- South Wayne Avenue at Maple Grove Avenue
- Westover Road at Crestwood Drive
Dirt is for Historic Southwood Park homes only! No dumping. Please take only what you need, and be considerate of other neighbors.#HistoricSouthwoodPark100
