5 Things: City Hall to Go Truck in Roslindale Village Today

1. Today the Boston City Hall To Go Truck - a moving City Hall office stocked with a full menu of services normally available only downtown, will be at the corner of Cummins Highway and Washington St. For most residents, City Hall, Citizens Connect and cityofboston.gov are and will remain the frontline of city service. But for some, travelling downtown to City Hall can be a long way to go. Boston is, after all, a city that stretches across nearly fifty square miles. Still, many people want or need a personal interaction to get direct services, ask a question or get information, so the City of Boston is taking City Hall to them.
2. On Thursday is an open house for Pathways to Nature Preschool at the Mass Audubon Nature Center. 500 Walk Hill St., Boston. 6-7:30 p.m. The preschool just opened, and is for ages 2.9 to 6.  Come for a tour of the preschool and to find out about the nature curriculum, the preschool teachers and answers to your questions.
3. Register now for Parkway Little League here, the season begins April 13... Also register now for the Parkway Girls Softball League. Registration deadline is March 17, same day as tryouts. .
4. The Boston Flower & Garden Show starts on Wednesday and ends on Sunday. Concern for the environment and enthusiasm for home veggie production have planted “Seeds of Change” in New England’s gardens. This spectacular five-day event features over 20 gardens created by professional landscape designers, nurseries and historic properties embracing innovative new plants, materials and techniques that increase the beauty, bountiful harvest and ecological friendliness of gardens and outdoor spaces. $20 or cheaper.
5. On Saturday is Roslindale Village Main Street's annual meeting - but this isn't your regular old meeting - it has a live music performance and more! Highlights include a dedication ceremony for Roslindale’s new public wind-driven art sculpture, "Traffic," by George Greenamyer and a live performance of a musical composition inspired by “Traffic” and written by Berklee College of Music’s Interdisciplinary Arts Institute students, Andrew Ikenberry and Jason Lim, using “found sound.” 1 p.m. St. Nectarios, 39 Belgrade Ave.
