Our environment often seems to be dominated by pavement, and ripe for community greening. That narrow space between the sidewalk and street curb we know as the hellstrip is sometimes planted in grass, filled with weeds or simply bare trampled earth. One of IE Merchantville's small action projects this year is to improve land stewardship on these Borough spaces by encouraging residents to "Herb Your Curb". Join our efforts by creating a native herb habitat in this forgotten space. It will cool ground temperatures, absorb and filter rainwater, support pollinators, and bring a smile to the passersby. It is important to remember that the hellstrip is a public space, even if you own the property, so keep that in mind when planning. IE has a team of gardening experts who can help you with this.
