KDB seeking help with downtown plants

Thank you to the people who worked hard to maintain pretty flowers in our big flower pots along downtown Patrick Street last summer! Keep Dublin Beautiful needs help maintaining some of the pots again this summer. Beautiful flowers and greenery in these pots help to show visitors we care about our city. Help with plants for these big pots would be appreciated, but the main need is for people who can each visit one or two regularly and bring water. Please let us know if this sounds like a project you could take on for the summer. Contact Pam Simon, President of KDB at 254/979-5722.
