About the Project

Before Melanie implemented her project, the entrance to Emerald View Park in Mount Washington was unsightly and uninteresting. The site has been beautified with perennial plantings, signage and benches – creating a more welcoming entrance to a great Hilltop park.

“I think community can mean a lot of things. I think a tight-knit community is one where not only does everyone know each other, but more importantly is willing to help and lend that helping hand.”
