Dedham Civic Pride Landscape Crew starts the 2021 Season

The members of the Dedham Civic Pride Landscape Crew, Maryanne Hawkins, Rick Sidorowicz, Chuck Rando and Stephen Murphy, began their spring clean up work on April 19th. The crew will be cleaning up, planting and maintaining the Sponsor-A-Spot sites and Blooms flower pots throughout the town from now until the beginning of November. Currently Dedham Civic Pride has over 50 pocket gardens in the town and over 60 flower pots and large planters in Dedham Square, Oakdale Square and East Dedham.

The landscape crew is funded by The Friends of Dedham Civic Pride, a non-profit, dedicated to support the efforts of keeping the town looking its best by improving the aesthetics of traffic islands, road dividers, and other sites in the town. Many of the Sponsor-A-Spot and Blooms are sponsored by local businesses, community organizations and individuals. Each sponsor is recognized with a sign with their name either in their site or flower pot. If you or your business or organization would like to sponsor a site or a flower pot, please contact Janet Holmes at 781-249-9258.
