Whether turfgrass, native plants or trees, green spaces are essential to the environment. According to Lawn Institute, they play a vital role in providing recreation, relaxation, and social interaction, helping to foster a sense of community and wellbeing.
Record Heat Wave
Phoenix, Arizona broke a record this summer after experiencing 113 days in a row that reached triple digit temperatures. Even during times of high heat, residents still need the opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, especially in green spaces where it can feel a bit cooler than non-green spaces.
Bring in the Trees
When it comes to making green spaces greener, every little bit helps. To address Phoenix homeowners feeling the urban heat island effect in their neighborhoods, ScottsMiracle-Gro partnered with the City of Phoenix and Project EverGreen to provide the community with increased shade. Barrios Unidos Park received a donation of 50 trees as part of this partnership.
The volunteer day at Barrios Unidos Park on October 23 was open to the public, with attendance by community leaders including Phoenix District 8 Councilwoman Kesha Hodge Washington.
Planting Teamwork
Local ScottsMiracle-Gro associates and additional community volunteers planted the trees at the park with the help of the City of Phoenix Parks and Recreation Department and the City of Phoenix Office of Heat Response and Mitigation.
While there is always more work to be done in response to rising temperatures, we're focused on the beneficial role that green spaces can play when it comes to addressing heat.
