Clean and Green North Avenue

Please join us for the first Clean & Green North Avenue event in East Tosa.   Focusing on North Avenue from 60th - 76th, this event is an opportunity for neighbors and businesses along North Avenue to take pride in our neighborhoods by helping to clean up. Clean Green

Volunteers should walk to their nearest North Avenue corner at 9am on June 20th with gardening/ work gloves in order to weed out the cracks and pavers.  Trash will be placed in black garbage bags, which will be provided, and plant material in the provided clear bags.  The city will pick up and dispose of the filled bags. 

We hope you join us to make North Avenue Clean & Green!

This event is hosted by Tosa East Towne Neighborhood Association.

How many gardens can we plant in Milwaukee in one weekend?

The Victory Garden Initiative, Transition Milwaukee, Community Growers, and other partners will attempt to answer that question on Memorial Day weekend, when teams of volunteers will install gardens at a number of sites around Milwaukee. Planned sites include private homes, a rooftop garden at a local business, a food pantry, a church, and schools. The goal is to bring attention to the importance of cultivating community resilience through gardening - anywhere and everywhere, and now!There has never been a better time for gardening!
