MTEC working to beautify Malden

Special to The Advocate

The Malden Teen Enrichment Center (MTEC) recently partnered with the Malden Housing Authority to revitalize the Newland Street Traffic Circle with fresh plantings from Northeast Nursery in Peabody. MTEC’s goal was to recapture the charm Newland Street once had — creating a clean, vibrant and creative green space for the community to enjoy. With the space cleared and prepared, the teens planted a beautiful mix of black-eyed Susans, Bailey red twig dogwoods, petunias and begonias.

MTEC students are also working to establish a regular watering schedule to help these flowers thrive throughout the season and beyond. MTEC and the Malden Housing Authority are grateful to who assisted in bringing a little more color and community spirit to Malden!
