Landscape America, Inc. is still seeking input from the community for ideas to beautify Wrentham town property as part of their annual Day of Service on April 20. The deadline to submit an idea is March 30, and residents are invited to weigh in on the suggestions by visiting Landscape America on Facebook.
A number of great ideas have already been submitted. Here are a dozen suggestions (in no particular order) submitted for consideration.
1. Clean up the town boat landing, add some plantings and benches, remove basketball court.
2. Perform a general spring clean-up and plantings at the Wrentham Senior Center.
3. Enhance and beautify the island at Rte. 1 south off-ramp to 140 (next to Chace’s Hardware).
4. At the old Center School Lot at the intersection of Route 1A and 140, fill in pot holes, enhance area around sign with plantings and mulch, or a berm or fence.
5. Enhance the area around the flag pole in the center of town.
6. Install and fill window boxes in the storefronts of Wrentham Center.
7. Mulch and beautify the elementary schools. Maybe the children could help!
8. Revitalize the Memorial island (dedicated to Vietnam Veteran, Eric Hatch) at the corner of Rt. 121 (West St.) and Sheldon Road.
9. Spring clean-up and enhancement at Sweatt Beach so we can enjoy it all summer!
10. Install a little park or playground at the corner of West St and Spring St.
11. Beautify the new 9/11 Memorial being designed by Troy Neubecker?
12. Enhance the area around the snack shack or elsewhere at the town soccer fields with landscaping, even a patio area with picnic tables.
