If you’d like to help us plant the thousands of flowers that every spring and summer beautify Veterans Memorial Circle but can’t join us for our big planting day on May 18, there’s an opportunity to join us in a head start the Saturday before – May 11.That Saturday (May 11) a team of students from Rock Valley College will be planting the four raised beds in front of the North End Commons businesses at the southwest quadrant of the Main/Auburn roundabout.
The four long beds start just north of The Norwegian, Engine Studio and Rooted, and go in front of The West Side Show Room and The GOAT Pub and Grill.
These beds line a prominent corridor leading to Veterans Memorial Circle, and involve a lot of work on their own. So extra help would be most appreciated.
