Planters are another beautification project currently in the works for downtown Marengo. If you're involved with the planters effort or have updates to share, use this thread to keep everyone in the loop. Questions and ideas welcome too.

Do you need hosta plants for Calvin Spencer Park? I have extra, but I'm not physically able to dig them out. Let me know if someone wants to do that & use some of what I have. Marie Bernhard 815.541.6896

Hi planter committee! Allisen here, a few of us picked up the plants for the planters at the high school greenhouse yesterday and I am storing them at my house until we’re ready to plant. I’ll keep them watered until they’re ready to be planted.

We also have 8 bags of dirt for the planters from the HS. They said we will need about a bag and a third for each planter, so we should have enough.

Thank you Allisen and your helpers! So excited for the install!

Marie- I don’t believe they want hostas for Calvin Spencer Park, but I’ll share this in the fb page too to see if we could use them for anywhere if that’s okay with you? Or if you’d like to post?
