Keep Glen Cove Beautiful, Adopt-A- Spot

Mayor Ralph V. Suozzi and the Beautification Commission are pleased to welcome the newest member of the “Adopt-A-Spot” program, Landing Bakery. Glen Cove’s “Adopt- A-Spot” is a beautification program in which volunteers from the community take responsibility for the appearance of the City by pledging to care for landscaping in certain designated areas.  Families, businesses and civic organizations are invited to participate in order to help the City to plant and maintain the medians and islands at the entrance to Glen Cove, throughout the downtown, and on the main thoroughfares that traverse the City.  Volunteers receive recognition for their efforts through a sign posted at their adopted spot with the name of their organization. 

Landing Bakery is more than just a pastry shop! This bakery located on Landing Road will be going on 55 years of great service to Glen Cove and has been family owned ever since. Specializing in all aspects of baking, including the best hard rolls, crumb buns, and jelly donuts on Long Island.  Kevin, son of Henry Kern and current owner of Landing Bakery, continues to be devoted to the entire Glen Cove community with quality, tradition and artistry of baking. They simply enjoy making life just a little bit sweeter.

Special thanks to all of the volunteers who help keep our city looking great with their own gardens and adopt-a-spots.  The City of Glen Cove appreciates the efforts of the community to keep spaces clean in the interest of public health and wellness. For more information, please contact Damion Stavredes at 516-779-6382.
