Planting at the Newtown Ambulance Center

The design and plants are chosen for the new Newtown, CT ambulance center.    
The bulk of the design at the center are larger sized box woods  and smaller plants.
Volunteers from the Horticulture club help to plant at the new facility 
This is a great project for our town and your help is greatly appreciated by the Ambulance Center and those who benefit from it 24/7. 

If you are interested in helping in the future please contact Joan Cominski.
