Fostoria has been granted funds to plant a Prairie
Garden on Main Street and to plant Prairie flowers in the area
between Hwy 71 and the frontage road. Project should be
completed by November 2004. |
On August 16, 2003 the
first community project Citizens for Fostoria tackled was
weeding and replanting the flower display in the City Park. Weeds
were pulled, plants were donated and planted! It was a
wonderful success! Workers met at 10am and were even joined
by a few residents that really just stopped to pick-up their mail!
We had lots of laughs, but most importantly we completed our first
effort to begin the beautification of Fostoria!
