The Hamlets is the first of four Crowfield subdivisions scheduled for a facelift.
The Hamlets is the first of four subdivisions in a project sponsored by the Crowfield Homeowners’ Association Landscape Committee to beautify its entrances.
The landscape committee initiated this volunteer project because money was not in the current Crowfield budget for this purpose. Through a flyer sent to all residents in the Hamlets, Bridge Creek, Cadbury, and Chatfield Place, money has been donated on a voluntary basis for the purpose of planting flowers at the entrances to the subdivisions.
