Project History

Springtime in Sigourney Square 4/17/2025 Out looking for better "before and after" shots of 33 Sargeant and 29 Ashley. Came back with some delightful shots of Asylum Hill in bloom. Also, it was trash day.
		A blast from the past 1/30/2025 I recently decided that I could - and should - set up a before and after slider for 33 Sargeant Street, which means I recently came across some old photos of the vacant lot. First effort to do that today: should I be worried that the buds on the magnolia are so prominent in January?
More holiday cheer! 12/19/2023 Tiana Hercules has decorated 33 Sargeant Street for the holidays.

A vest pocket garden and a lawn for the big day 9/14/2011 Since we’re getting ready to show off 33 Sargeant, we thought it would also be a good time to showcase a vest pocket garden. If all goes well, we’ll look to add a few more around the neighborhood, and then we’ll plan for a larger project.
