| View in browser March 2026   Hi there, We made it to Spring! Philadelphia's cherry blossom season typically peaks from late March through early April, with 2026 predictions pointing to peak bloom around April 4.  Over 2,600 trees, originally gifted from Japan, bloom throughout the city, notably at Fairmount Park, Kelly Drive, and the Morris Arboretum. Don't forget to enjoy Roxborough Reserve's own flowering cherries! Looking for Bouquets? (and Bread) On Saturday, April 4, Dead King Bread (located at Manayunk Timber on Umbria) is hosting Pauline Nader's flower farm with spring bouquets    Little Free Library: Coming Soon! The Board unanimously approved a proposal for a Little Free Library next to the mailboxes near the pocket park. If you'd like to be involved, please reach out to Rose Goren (#17) and Ashley Martin (#24).   Annual Meeting 2026 The 2026 Annual Meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, June 17, at 7 PM. We will send out a meeting reminder in a separate email along with a link to the minutes from the March 11 Board meeting.   International Food Fest 2026 We'll be sending out a survey link to determine the best date in May/early June for this year's Food Fest.   Interested in Birding? At the Andorra Free Library,  you can check out a birding backpack, then go and explore the Wissahickon.    Pump Station Update We are awaiting a replacement phase converter. Once it arrives, work can start. Thank you for your patience in dealing with the noise.     🌱 Spring Lawn Care Quick Guide Now is the perfect time to get ahead of weeds and set your lawn up for a strong season. Pre-emergent is key right now.  Applying a pre-emergent herbicide in early spring helps prevent crabgrass and other weeds before they even start. Hold off on seeding.  Spring might feel like a good time to plant grass, but young roots struggle in the summer heat. Fall is the ideal time for seeding and major lawn repairs. Pro Tip: Split your pre-emergent applications. Apply once between now and mid-April, then again in early June. This extends protection through the peak weed season. Don’t forget fertilizer.  A light spring feeding helps your lawn green up and recover from winter. Avoid heavy applications—slow and steady wins here. Mow smart.  Start mowing once your grass begins growing consistently. Keep blades sharp and avoid cutting more than 1/3 of the grass height at a time. Water wisely.  Spring usually provides enough rain—no need to overwater. Deep, infrequent watering is better than frequent light watering. Bonus tip:  If parts of your lawn struggle every year, it’s often a soil issue (compaction, rocks, poor nutrients). Consider aeration in the fall and adding quality topsoil before seeding. Wishing you a wonderful Passover and Easter.   Regards, Your Roxborough Reserve Representatives Ron Adams Treasurer #25 C: 215-779-1455 rja733@gmail.com Bridget Devine Secretary #39 C: 215-760-0985 bpkennedy23@gmail.com Christine Whittemore President #31 C: 201-707-3311 cbwhittemore@gmail.com Check out the Roxborough Reserve Resident Resources Toad Season runs until June 30th.
