Committees: Beautification Commission 2009 Annual Report Our Mission: “To foster the beautification of Hingham public areas using Community resources.” With each passing year the traffic islands and cherry tree park become more beautiful and require less maintenance as the plantings mature. The downtown containers on South Street and at the corner of Lincoln St. and Rte 3A are planted in April with pansies, planted again for summer bloom, and decorated with greens for the Christmas holidays. Rose Durkin and her volunteers have taken on a huge commitment in planting and maintaining these planters. The beautiful daylilies and Russian sage at all five of the railroad crossings become more beautiful with each passing year. The traffic island gardens at Kimball Beach Road, Scotland and Main Streets, and at Routes 3A and 228 are kept beautiful by the combined efforts of neighbors and Beautification Commission volunteers. The garden at Tedeschi’s in West Hingham is a delight. Each time one passes the garden there is another surprise. Thank you, Denise Bruce, for your hard work and creativity. A big thank you to the Tedeschi personnel for keeping the garden well watered. Thank you Linden Ponds for the gardens near the library and another thank you to Janet Codley, who has planted and maintained an island on Otis Street. We thank the DPW for preparing, mulching and watering the islands and assisting us with the cleanup at French Street. We also thank all the volunteers who help to beautify the town, as well as the Selectmen for their support of the Beautification Committee.
