The Beautification Project receives flower funding via donations made by the OG Historical Society, Chamber of Commerce, OG Ladies Auxiliary, and a Neptune Township grant of $500;   but the bulk of the money comes from donors .  The flowers are planted in urns, plots, boardwalk containers, and public gardens.

Many of the  volunteers signed up at the Spring Fling.

Planting begins each year in time for the Law Enforcement Memorial Service at the Great Auditorium.

    If you would like to join the Ocean Grove Beautification Project in planting some of these plants, please contact Connie Ogden at LadyOg23@aol.com

    We meet on Thursday mornings to do our main plantings but we have projects that can be done on your own like the boardwalk urns Contact me if you would like to be put on our email list and part of our group.

    Thanks
