The Rotary Club of St. John has officially unveiled a newly completed planter in Franklin A. Powell Sr. Park, a project made possible through a partnership with Elroy Hill, St. John deputy director of the Sports, Parks, and Recreation Department. This initiative aims to enhance the park’s entrance with sustainable landscaping, offering a beautiful and inviting space for residents and visitors.
Project Details:
1. Location: The designated planter is situated at the park’s front edge, conveniently
located as you exit the ferry terminal.
2. Design and Maintenance: Alfredo’s Landscaping designed the planter and
recommended a routine maintenance plan to ensure the planter’s longevity.
3. Maintenance: The Rotary Club of St. John members will provide ongoing
maintenance, including plant care, trash removal, and general upkeep.
Beautification of the Park:
During the event to formally present the planter to the Sports, Parks, and
Recreation Department, Hill expressed his appreciation to the Rotary Club of St John, and he welcomed other organizations and businesses to adopt more planters in the park. Hill and Jennifer Stone, president of the Rotary Club of St. John, agreed to work together to see if there was further interest in adoption of planters by the community.
To be considered in this Beautification of the Park effort, please email Jennifer Stone at JenniferStoneSTJ@gmail.com or any member of the Rotary Club of St. John.
