The Planters Are Here!
ArtSS made the beautification of our city one of its top priorities by installing planters of seasonal flowers all along Roswell Road. The beautification project was spearheaded by Cynthia Swann, Bernadine Richard and many other volunteers throughout our city who secured nearly 30 sponsors for the planters. The beautification effort also included the installation and landscaping of the planters (plants, mulch and rocks). The Sandy Springs Fire Rescue has been assisting by watering the planters. The Fire Department is in the process of purchasing a 6-Wheel Drive Multi Purpose Polaris vehicle with a 75-gallon water tank and pump which will assist in this watering project.
Throughout the year, colorful flowers bloom in large concrete planters along Roswell Road in Sandy Springs. The vibrant color of these plantings were designed by Anna Pfohl. A word of special thanks to Mayor Eva Galambos and city officials who have been extremely helpful in making this project come alive!
If interested in sponsoring one of the two remaining planters, which include dedication plaques, please contact: Cynthia Swann at cswann@mindspring.com
