Parks Beautification Project

“Just living is not enough…one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower”
- Hans Christian Anderson

We are opening the opportunity to every individual and business to help impart this beauty to our village. What could honor a loved one, represent a local business, or show an individual’s care for their neighborhood better than a reading spot under a tree or flowering tree blossoms coloring the grass?
