The Springfield Garden Club, a Branch of Woman’s National Farm & Garden Association, installed custom stone planters in Davisburg.
The project started in 2012 by past President Nancy Bontumasi. She researched the feasibility of the project and saw it to fruition.
The Springfield Garden Club funded three planters, at a cost of $1,000 each, with money raised at their biennial Daffodil and Duds Style Show and Silent Auction.
Two additional planters were purchased by Atty. Dennis Strelchuk and his wife MaryAnne, a member of the club. Creative Stone of Davisburg, Mich., designed and placed the planters, and donated one planter. Five of the planters are located on Broadway, in Davisburg.
The sixth planter graces the entrance to the Springfield Township Library. Flowers and seasonal decorations will be supplied by the Club as part of their commitment to beautifying downtown Davisburg.
The club received an award from Keep Michigan Beautiful for their efforts to improve the area. Meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month at 10 a.m., with the exception of July, at the Springfield Township Hall on Davisburg Road.
