Dear fellow Hanoverians:
In keeping with the last ATOTW e-mail that detailed some fine examples
of Hanover community spirit, I received a great follow-up e-mail from
Hanover resident, mother of two Eagle Scouts, and Walnut Hill Garden
Club member Kathy Murray, and have paraphrased her words below.
Over the weekend, 30 volunteers re-landscaped the Fire Station on
Center Street. The project was intended as a tribute to the Fire
Department in recognition of the 10th anniversary of September 11,
2001.
Both Boy Scout Troop 1 and Troop 38 sent scouts to help. The boys
worked really hard moving gravel, manure and mulch as well as ripping
out the existing landscape, weeding and planting. Walnut Hill Garden
Club had 8 club members help with digging out all of the existing
perennials. They potted them up to be sold at their plant sale next
spring. WHGC originally planted them some 20 years ago. There were
also volunteer firefighters lending a hand.
PA Landers donated the stone and mulch. They were so generous that the
volunteers had lots of material left over, so everyone went across the
parking lot and helped finish (another one of my favorite soon-to-be
Eagle) Tyler Cheo’s (Troop 38) Eagle project with mulch. Tyler was
doing some landscaping of his own behind town hall earlier this month
for town hall employees. When that was done, there was still some
mulch left sitting in the parking lot. The volunteers completely
landscaped the town hall! Kathy could not say enough about the
camaraderie and the physical work that it entailed. What started as
one project turned into three!
She also wanted to recognize and thank the following companies that
were very generous with donations to the project:
PA Landers of Hanover and Plymouth
Penniman Hill Farm of Hingham
Kennedy’s Country Gardens of Scituate
Lambert’s Nurseries and Garden of Hingham
Family Pet and Garden Center of Pembroke
Wyman’s Garden Center of Hanson
Village Garden of Hanover
Cochato Nursery of Holbrook
Briggs Stables of Hanover
Drive by and take a look. The group incorporated a “smoke bush” and a
“Quick Fire” hydrangea – how appropriate for a fire station! Kathy
closed her e-mail by quoting mine, “As always, together we make this
town great,” and added, “Couldn’t agree more!”
For “Around Town on the Web”,
