Dear fellow Hanoverians:
\nIn keeping with the last ATOTW e-mail that detailed some fine examples
\nof Hanover community spirit, I received a great follow-up e-mail from
\nHanover resident, mother of two Eagle Scouts, and Walnut Hill Garden
\nClub member Kathy Murray, and have paraphrased her words below.
\nOver the weekend, 30 volunteers re-landscaped the Fire Station on
\nCenter Street. The project was intended as a tribute to the Fire
\nDepartment in recognition of the 10th anniversary of September 11,
\n2001.
\nBoth Boy Scout Troop 1 and Troop 38 sent scouts to help. The boys
\nworked really hard moving gravel, manure and mulch as well as ripping
\nout the existing landscape, weeding and planting. Walnut Hill Garden
\nClub had 8 club members help with digging out all of the existing
\nperennials. They potted them up to be sold at their plant sale next
\nspring. WHGC originally planted them some 20 years ago. There were
\nalso volunteer firefighters lending a hand.<\/p>\n
PA Landers donated the stone and mulch. They were so generous that the
\nvolunteers had lots of material left over, so everyone went across the
\nparking lot and helped finish (another one of my favorite soon-to-be
\nEagle) Tyler Cheo’s (Troop 38) Eagle project with mulch. Tyler was
\ndoing some landscaping of his own behind town hall earlier this month
\nfor town hall employees. When that was done, there was still some
\nmulch left sitting in the parking lot. The volunteers completely
\nlandscaped the town hall! Kathy could not say enough about the
\ncamaraderie and the physical work that it entailed. What started as
\none project turned into three!<\/p>\n
She also wanted to recognize and thank the following companies that
\nwere very generous with donations to the project:<\/p>\n
PA Landers of Hanover and Plymouth<\/p>\n
Penniman Hill Farm of Hingham<\/p>\n
Kennedy’s Country Gardens of Scituate<\/p>\n
Lambert’s Nurseries and Garden of Hingham<\/p>\n
Family Pet and Garden Center of Pembroke<\/p>\n
Wyman’s Garden Center of Hanson<\/p>\n
Village Garden of Hanover<\/p>\n
Cochato Nursery of Holbrook
\nBriggs Stables of Hanover<\/p>\n
Drive by and take a look. The group incorporated a “smoke bush” and a
\n“Quick Fire” hydrangea \u2013 how appropriate for a fire station! Kathy
\nclosed her e-mail by quoting mine, \u201cAs always, together we make this
\ntown great,\u201d and added, \u201cCouldn\u2019t agree more!\u201d<\/p>\n
For “Around Town on the Web”,
