So wonderful to see neighbors at the Southwest Corridor Plant & Flower Sale and to see the corridor coming alive with colorful flowers, smiling residents, and singing birds! We are so fortunate to have the corridor and so thankful to the many who care for and manage it!. Go check out their website here.

Can trash cans make you happy?  The SW Corridor trash barrels got a beautiful make-over recently and if you find yourself spontaneously smiling as you walk through, it might just be because of the beautiful artwork on them created by local artist Elizabeth Taylor. Elizabeth is a visual artist who has been living and working in the South End for the past 20 years and her work touches on themes of natural preservation in the urban landscape and beyond. 
Quarantined at home in early March, Elizabeth began experimenting with abstract shapes and colors based on leaves and flowers. When Franco at the SW Corridor asked if she could paint the barrels, she thought these designs would fit right in. The natural world has always been an inspiration for her, but this summer she has felt especially fortunate to be surrounded by such beautifully cultivated gardens and the people who made them.  Thanks, Elizabeth, for making our corridor even more enjoyable!
