Mentor, Ohio-based Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Communities Initiative and PBI-Gordon, Shawnee, Kansas, came together for a day of volunteerism to improve and enhance Huron Park in Wyandotte County, Kansas.

The project was part of PBI-Gordon’s 75th-anniversary celebration and highlighted the substantial benefits green spaces provide to the environment and residents. PBI-Gordon is a manufacturer of turf and ornamental management products.

“PBI-Gordon is proud to support Project EverGreen and the work it does to enhance green spaces and urban centers nationwide,” says Neil Cleveland, senior vice president and general manager of PBI-Gordon.

“It’s an honor to partner with this organization and the other donors to revitalize Huron Park and help preserve this beloved gathering place.”

Other businesses in the landscape industry also contributed to the project, including Ryan Lawn & Tree, SiteOne Landscape Supply and Grass Pad.

“A well-maintained vibrant park brings cooling relief to this urban downtown,” says Cindy Code, executive director of Project EverGreen.

“Bringing the community’s vision to life is possible only through collaboration of individuals, businesses, and community grants. Our professional volunteers love sharing their expertise and giving back to neighborhood parks and green spaces.”

The project included the following:

  • edging along all sidewalks throughout the park
  • mulching all landscape beds
  • planting a tree in honor of Project EverGreen’s GreenCare for Troops initiative
  • daffodil bulb planting, weed management
  • aeration and over-seeding
  • general tree and shrub pruning and clean-up
