DAVID BRAUN PARK PAVILION CLOSED
The David Braun Park Pavilion will be closed until December 20th. Contractors began mobilizing equipment mid-November, and notification signs have been placed at the entrance of the park and at the pavilion. As a safety precaution, road barricades and orange construction fencing will also secure the pavilion. As part of the construction process, contractors will paint the underside of the roof. Additionally, the Parks Department is planning to re-do the striping of the basketball floor, including the free throw areas and borders. Watch Nassau Bay's social media pages for updates and for the official reopening of the pavilion. Thank you for your patience as crews work as quickly as possible!
NASSAU BAY GARDEN CLUB
Christmas Cactus: Residents have probably noticed the beautiful "Christmas Cactus" [Schlumbergera] for sale in grocery stores or garden centers. These are easy-to-grow houseplants that come in several vibrant colors this time of year. However, caution as they are highly toxic – something to consider if one has small children and/or pets. In order to bloom, this cactus will need humidity, welldrained soil, bright indirect morning light, and a constant temperature of 50-70 degrees. The Schlumbergera plant will need long dark nights [11 hours] and short bright days to produce flowers. These cacti can produce flowers that are pink, purple, red, yellow, white, or orange. They are reasonably priced, easy to find, and add to the holiday spirit! Garden Club Christmas Luncheon: The Nassau Bay Garden Club will not have a general meeting in the month of December, however, a Christmas Luncheon is planned for Wednesday, December 4th at the Lakewood Yacht Club. Regular Garden Club meetings will resume Tuesday, January 14th, 2020 at 9:30am. Meetings are held in the Nassau Bay City Hall Council Chambers (1800 Space Park Drive). January's program (at 10:00am) will be about landscaping for Nassau Bay, with designs and plantings to help create sustainable gardens and plants that will last in the City's climate. The speaker will be Mary Karish. After the business meeting (at 11:00am) there will be a pot-luck lunch prepared by members – all are welcome to join any of the Club's meetings and activities.
NASSAU BAY ARBOR DAY CEREMONY Nassau Bay celebrated Arbor Day on November 14th with the Nassau Bay Garden Club and St. Thomas the Apostle Episcopal School. Students sang a lovely song and Mayor Mark Denman presented a proclamation in honor of the celebration. The Club's "little Charlie Brown" oak tree, donated by Mayor Mark Denman, was planted in Swan Lagoon Park. This year's ceremony marked the 55th year the Garden Club has planted a tree in the community for Arbor Day.
