Cultivating Neighborhoods
Annual Landscaping Project


Springfield’s biggest garden party!
Cultivating Neighborhoods implements a comprehensive landscaping program on approximately 30 contiguous owner occupied properties to achieve a critical mass of improvement and to visibly impact the curb appeal of a selected neighborhood.


This project includes the collaboration of professional landscapers, local
business sponsors, homeowners and volunteers who work together
with NHP staff to make one day event a success. Significant community
benefits flowing from Cultivating Neighborhoods include:
 
 Increasing housing value and marketability for home owners

 












Raising awareness of the positive aspects of inner city neighborhoods












Showcasing partnerships of the corporations, local businesses,
community groups, neighborhoods, and government
 

Providing community service opportunities for students and community members
Creating a spirit of community, fun and sense of pride working together for a common goal
Combining resources from diverse community groups and businesses to
create a strong impact on a targeted neighborhood.

Our commitment to the re-landscaped neighborhoods is ongoing. We have
partnered with Clark County Master Gardeners to help the neighbors
maintain their new landscapes.

NHP wants to improve the landscape Springfield one neighborhood at a
time. As we work together to improve our neighborhoods and make our
community more beautiful, we build a sense of community and spirit of
working together that is often lost in our fast paced lives.
