The Galleria at Fort Lauderdale

<a href="https://www.galleriamall-fl.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Galleria Fort Lauderdale</a> presents The Poppy Project Pop-Up Living Garden in support of<a href="https://www.hendersonbh.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Henderson Behavioral Health</a> (HBH) in collaboration with the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee. This public art initiative is designed to honor veterans while raising awareness and funds for critical mental health services. Shoppers can take colorful photos and selfies to share online and connect with and donate to HBH’s virtual Legacy Wall which encourages friends and families to honor loved ones who have served or are currently serving our country. The cherished photo opportunity with the larger-than-life artistic poppy flowers will run through November 10 at Galleria Fort Lauderdale (2414 East Sunrise Blvd.). 
Designed by South Florida based Ingham Landscaping and presented by Galleria Fort Lauderdale, the two-month living garden will be a colorful and lively setting featuring the five-and 6-foot striking handcrafted fiberglass poppy flowers which are a remembrance of those who protect and serve our country. The inside mall garden will include a variety of tropical ornamental plants and shrubs that will complement the artistic poppy works of art.
 Adding to the installation, will be “Soldier Stories,” an exclusive exhibition by award-winning artist Marilyn Johansen honoring veterans and the military. Visitors will also be encouraged to select free postcards and add a personal message to current servicemen and women. This special moment is arranged by the USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee. Special retail offers will coincide with this community project.
Inspired by the poppy’s historical significance as a symbol of sacrifice, rooted in the World War I poem “In Flanders Fields,” and later adopted as a national emblem of remembrance, HBH’s The Poppy Project brings this tradition to life in a local and meaningful way. 
The effort is sponsored by key community partners and supporters including The Leo Goodwin Foundation, Arlene Pecora, the Henderson Behavioral Health Board of Directors, Florida Power &amp; Light Company (FPL), USS Fort Lauderdale (LPD28) Support Committee, Community Foundation of Broward, Disabled American Veterans-Gold Coast Chapter 133, Riverwalk Fort Lauderdale and Galleria Fort Lauderdale.

Oakland Park is moving to buy a 5-acre W Oakland Park Blvd site for $6.2M. Join our Westside Vision Roundtable to weigh in on its future.
The City is moving toward purchasing the 5-acre CareerSource Broward property on W Oakland Park Blvd for $6.2M. The city has not stated its vision for the property, but did state in the August 5 City Commission agenda that there are “redevelopment objectives”, objectives which the city has not shared with the public.
Because we believe that OP stakeholders deserve a voice as we consider such a significant purchase, we are hosting a Westside Vision roundtable at 6:30pm on August 27 at 2819 N Oakland Forest Dr.
Given its central location and proximity to I-95, the coming Turnpike exit west of SR 7, and the anticipated Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) route, West OPB has the potential to be a hub for everyone in South Florida, not just local residents. What do you want to see in OP? How do we turn this neglected corridor into a shining showpiece for our city?
Please plan to attend, and share the flyer with your friends and neighbors, and on social media. Join us on the 27th for an energizing community conversation about the possibilities — bring your hopes, ideas, and questions. Light refreshments will be served.
Let’s build something great together!Event Flyer: <a href="https://www.westsideop.org/event/westside-vision-roundtable-for-careersource-broward-property-on-w-opb/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">westsideop.org/event/westside-vision-roundtable-for-careersource-broward-property-on-w-opb/</a>
