Volunteers needed for Beautification Day May 16
The Franklin Downtown Partnership and Franklin Garden Club are gearing up for Beautification Day on Saturday, May 16. From 8 a.m.-12 p.m. Volunteers are needed! Roll up your sleeves and dig in. Many hands are needed to help plant flowers on the bridges, barrels and boxes downtown.
Volunteer to plant on May 16 or pick one of 18 weeks to water during the summer. Contact Sandy Sauer at [email protected], or 508-733-8929.
The FHS Baseball team volunteers their time planting for the spring, but more help is always appreciated. This is the perfect opportunity to earn student community service hours. You will get a note documenting your service.
Volunteers with trucks, please meet at 7:30 a.m. at Fairmount Fruit Farm at 887 Lincoln Street to pick up trays of flowers and deliver downtown. If you don’t have a truck, arrive by 8 a.m. at the public parking lot near the bridge in front of The Rome restaurant. Bring work gloves, rakes and garden tools, if you can.
Franklin DPW supplies water, hoses and mulch. They also clean up litter and debris in certain areas.
“Our goal is to give people something to smile about as they drive through our historic downtown and maybe just make their day a little better,” said Eileen Mason, Beautification Day Chair.
Franklin Downtown Partnership Executive Director, Lisa Piana, appreciates the many people who come together to make this a success. “The Partnership is very grateful to Eileen Mason, Sandy Sauer, the Franklin Garden Club, the DPW and the many members of our community who volunteer to make our center beautiful for the spring and summer,” she said.
