Main Street Bridge of Color
The greening of North Main St. |
The gardens along North Main Street at the Salmon
Brook Bridge were created through a partnership with the
Glastonbury Coalition for Sensible Growth.
In the fall of 2008 members of that group worked with GPIP
to plants shrubs and perennials where before there was only
grass.
The Coalition will maintain the garden with the help of the
owner of Sparkle Car Wash who commits to keeping it watered
while it becomes established. It now provides a rare spot of
color and offers plant labels to identify the greenery for
those who walk the sidewalks in the north end. ‘Moonshadow’
providing color year round. Bob Shipman’s design also added
3 ornamental trees.
