For many years The Marion Garden Group has been planting and tending window boxes, planters, and urns throughout Marion Village in an effort to beautify the village.
Building on that mission, Liz Hatch, Marion Garden Group Vice President and the inspiration behind the beautification efforts, as well as a dedicated group of volunteers have made great strides in the past year planting and tending new island gardens along with 10 new self-watering planters located throughout the town.
“I was inspired by the efforts communities such as Tiverton, RI, Osterville, and Chatham, MA have made to beautify the road islands and entrance areas and what a difference it made to their towns.”
One of the major initiatives last year was the installation of a new Welcome to Marion sign on the corner of Route 6 and Front Street which greets newcomers and residents alike.
The second annual gala fundraiser will be held at the Hatch’s beautiful seaside home in Marion on July 18from 4:00 pm – 7:00 pm. Wine and hors d’oeuvres will be served. Tickets are $40 (though additional donations will be gladly accepted).
