May 17 Beautification Day promotes community participation
Ever wonder who plants the 20,000 colorful flowers in Montgomery’s medians, ramps and parks? Would you like to be part of this highly visible and rewarding volunteer project? You’re in luck! It’s not too late to reserve a flowerbed for your family, church group, school club, civic organization, business or neighborhood association.
Sponsored by the Beautification & Tree Commission, Beautification Day 2008 is scheduled for Saturday, May 17. Volunteers will meet at 9 am in the City Hall parking lot for registration, supplies, flowerbed assignments and light refreshments.
Wear comfortable, gardening attire; bring a trowel for planting and be amazed by the colorful landscape that results from this incredible, volunteer team effort!
Youth groups are also welcome to participate in this annual, beautification endeavor by planting a flowerbed in one of the City’s parks. However, they must be accompanied by adult supervisors. Park flowerbeds are also reserved for youths to plant during Park Planting Week (May 12-16).
For more information on these projects or to reserve a flowerbed, call Joyce Yock at 792-8329.
