Become a Green Thumb Helper
Throughout the growing season each year, from late April through September, KVIS members and friends tend the Point Gardens at the point of the Village Green at the two Delaware’s, and the Library Garden on Delaware Rd. The people who tend them are called Green Thumb Helpers; they deadhead, weed, plant, and water and keep these gardens free from debris throughout the growing season. Our Green Thumb Helpers do so as a gift to our community and because they believe that well tended gardens help the Village look more visually appealing and cared for. Our Village and Town DPW graciously assist us in our Green Thumb Helpers initiative by adding mulch to the garden beds annually.
If you have a love of growing things and of helping to beautify Kenmore, please consider becoming a Green Thumb Helper. You can sign up by using the form below. With your help, we’ll keep the Village verdant and looking good throughout the warm months. Thank you!

Green Thumb Scouts
One year our Green Thumb Helpers were joined by about a dozen area Scout Troops in helping beautify the Village. The Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Daisy’s and Brownies planted flowers in the little gardens along Delaware Avenue and at the entrances to the municipal parking lots. Gardening at home is rewarding but gardening for so many, in public places that belong to us all, gives one a deep sense of pride and a fulfilling feeling of true community. That sense of pride was certainly present at the festive pizza lunch party enjoyed by all after a morning of planting. Many thanks to the KVIS members Beth Bordeleau and Jessica Sidor, and to the many Scout parents and Troop Leaders who helped make this special time together possible.
