More hanging baskets will grace Main Street this year. And, ONU will do its part to add to the beauty of Main Street for pedestrians and motorists.

People like the grand floral display. The Village has had many positive comments about them since the project began two years ago. Each year the number of baskets has increased, thanks to generous donors.

The large, multicolored baskets are well cared for by Cheryl Geer of the street department, who is a master gardener. She has some help from Jamie Hall, assistant village administrator who has an extensive background in horticulture. A dab of fertilizer helps, too.
