Huntington Bank continues to invest in Detroit neighborhoods in a big way - they recently awarded a $25,000 beautification grant to Grandmont Rosedale Development Corporation (GRDC), to be divided equally among the five Grandmont Rosedale neighborhoods, to help us spruce up our surroundings.  This is the third year Rosedale Park has received $5,000 from this generous Huntington grant.

This year RPIA is pleased to put those funds to work through an island beautification program, to give a 100% matching grant to any block that invests up to a maximum of $150 in making their island beautiful.  Eligible expenses include dirt, mulch, grass seed, flowers, perennials, shrubs, landscape blocks, tools, fertilizer, weed killer, boulders, seeds, flower pots, stakes, etc.  Grants will be given on a first-come, first-served basis, with an August 1st deadline for submitting hard-copy printed receipts.

Blocks that want some new ideas or suggestions can request free advice/consultation from members of the RPIA Garden Committee, who are happy to drop by and assess your options with you - call Carolyn Murphy (313-838-1768), Ruth Remus (313-587-5697) or Deborah Tunstull (313-549-1339) to set up a visit.

BUY LOCAL

Tina Castleberry, owner of The Garden Bug,18901 Grand River, is delighted to hear about our beautification efforts and will support blocks making purchases at her business by offering a 10% discount to each block.  This locally owned and operated garden center is only open till June 25, so don’t delay!

TOGETHER...the families of Rosedale Park have created a good place to live in - a place that preserves the pleasures of living in a small town though it is part of a large city.

These pleasures emanate from the pride of ownership that maintaining the good appearance of their homes as well as maintaining desirable living conditions.
