From DOWNTOWN BOWLING GREEN
What a beautiful day to plant flowers. The morning was sunny and cool and the flowers were delivered this morning by Wolf’s Blooms and Berries coordinated by Sue Wolf and her staff. Over 1000 colorful healthy plants were grown especially for Downtown Bowling Green by her organization and they started arranging and planting the plants early this morning.
We could not have done it without the help of the University Women of BGSU University Women’s Garden Club. These women, some who are master gardeners, have volunteered for this annual planting day for many years. They also tend to the pots throughout the season, trimming and dead heading the expired blooms. Tom Striggow has also volunteered a lot of time to make today a success. We also had other volunteers show up today to make downtown Bowling Green a more beautiful place. Justin Lewallen with Lewallen Construction will be watering the flowers this year.
Tony Vetter, Director of Downtown Bowling Green S.I.D and the Downtown Foundation states “We are so grateful for our volunteers and the donations from the community who support our efforts to make our downtown a pleasure to enjoy. You’ll see more yellow in the plantings this year as a sign of hope. With the COVID restrictions lifting and life returning to normal, hope seemed to be appropriate.”
The hanging baskets will be delivered and hung next week to complete the planting
project. Be sure to take a stroll through the Downtown and enjoy the view.
