Linkwood Awarded Matching Beautification Grant!

The Linkwood Civic Club has been awarded a matching grant from the City of Houston for the beautification of the esplanade at Stella Link and South Braeswood. Linkwood is a treelined, family friendly neighborhood located on South Braeswood between Stella Link and Ilona. The neighborhood is bound by adopted esplanades on the north and west.
Beautification plans include the addition of trees, a planting area at the north tip for seasonal color, an automatic irrigation system and a water meter. The refurbished esplanade will welcome commuters traveling this major artery to the Medical Center, Reliant Stadium, and the new South Main Freeway. In addition, the new trees will provide a home for birds, benefit air quality, and provide shade and beauty along the esplanade.
The residents of Linkwood have a desire to beautify Houston. From lemonade stand fundraisers to teams of planters, residents of all ages will be involved in the esplanade beautification project. Initial funding for the project will be provided by the Linkwood Civic Club, but more resources are needed. If you would like to contribute to the landscape improvements of the Stella Link esplanade or donate a memorial tree, please send checks payable to Linkwood Civic Club. Mail to the attention of Lisa Sharp, 3707 South Braeswood, Houston, TX 77025. Click on the following link for access to donation form: Linkwood Donor Form
