The Ocean Grove Beautification Project is an independent group of volunteers who tend to many of the beautiful public gardens around town. The first link below tells you a great deal about this team of workers.
Recently they completed the design and planting of new gardens around the periphery of the Camp Meeting Association offices at Pitman Ave and Pilgrim Pathway. The garden is 80% perennials, shrubs and trees, but flowers will “pop” every year at the office entrance. The design was created by Mindy Arcoleo of Ocean Wholesale Nurseries in Jackson, NJ. who worked with Conny Ogden, co-chair of the OGBP. This and other works by the group are financed by citizen contributions as well as money from the Women’s Auxiliary of the Great Auditorium—–also a private OG organization.

Maybe next time the Project will plan to plant a peck of pickled peppers.
