5th Street SE Bump Gardens

Since 2007, volunteers from the Marcy-Holmes neighborhood have taken on the responsibility of maintaining one of 12 corner “bump-out” flower gardens along historic 5th Street SE each season. While EBNP provides gardening expertise, plants, and mulch, local property owners help by watering the gardens. These small but impactful green spaces contribute to the beauty and vibrancy of the neighborhood.
