Green Up Day 2021
The Courtyards GreenUp Day
A Success Story
By Leslie Marcaurelle, Landscape Committee
I’d like to share a summary about the Landscape Committee, what they do, and how GreenUp Day started in our community.
The committee is a group of volunteer residents in The Courtyards, appointed by the Board, who meet on a regular basis to discuss special landscaping needs or requests from unit owners. They visit the properties, look at the landscaping and aesthetics guidelines in the Homeowners Guide and the Covenants, and work to provide permissions to owners to do landscape work and to resolve issues.
The Committee decided in late spring that they wanted to step up their game: do a project in which they could share more of their time to help their neighbors who may not be able to tackle a small task on their own. They discussed ideas and the committee agreed that a “Courtyards GreenUp Day” was a great course of action. The Team notified the community and solicited and developed a “wish list” from homeowner requests. They set a date for Saturday October 16th at 10 am and asked for community participation.
And the inaugural GreenUp Day in The Courtyards HAPPENED and was a huge success! Nine volunteers showed up to work the eight homeowner landscaping assistance requests. It was an amazing experience and much appreciated by both homeowners and the GreenUp volunteers. The committee plans to make this an annual project and to expand our volunteer cadre to take on more requests for landscape help. A huge THANK YOU to The Courtyard residents for your support in this exciting new community endeavor!
And Thank You to the following for their help:
Pierre, Marilyn, Dave, Mike, Kim, Julie, Alan and Carol.
