Chester Weed & Seed – Ongoing Partnership

Highlands Gardens/Highland Avenue/Peoples Street, Chester, PA

Spring 2006 - Present

Our support of Chester’s Weed & Seed and other community initiatives has brought DCHC to work in neighborhoods in Chester’s West End, along Highland Avenue. Working in Highland Gardens in Spring 2006, on Highland Avenue in Spring 2007, and on Peoples Street and Bethel Road in Spring 2008 – we organized volunteers to paint homes, rebuild porch roofs, trim trees, clean and replace gutters and provide general cleanup. In Fall 2008, DCHC returns to Highland Gardens to beautify streets immediately adjacent to the community under-development, Wellington Heights.
