Lower Longfellow Park
CP&GC began advocating for Longfellow Park in 2015 as we had concern about existing trees, planting around the poet’s monument, crumbling stone steps, non-working light posts, and lack of benches. Despite the tall order, the City responded quickly by replanting the area around the monument to Longfellow. The club funded the pruning of the park’s crabapples, planted two crabapples and added new lilacs to an existing grouping. New benches, new lights, new drought-tolerant perennials, and new trees near Mount Auburn Street have all been well used by visitors and residents alike. Photo: Leslee_atFlickr
