Momentum in Full Swing for <strong>Holliston</strong> in Bloom<br />

May was a very busy month for<br />

<strong>Holliston</strong> in Bloom! Thanks to all<br />

the volunteers who came to our<br />

Spring Clean-up at Blair Square/<br />

Rail Trail on May 7. Despite the<br />

cool, damp weather, we had a total<br />

of 23 people - of all ages, including<br />

Girl Scout Brownie Troop<br />

89238. A mild winter and many<br />

hands helped make the clean-up a<br />

breeze!<br />

The HBA Spring Festival was<br />

very well attended on May 14<br />

and the weather was picture perfect.<br />

<strong>Holliston</strong> in Bloom gave out<br />

over 200 marigold seedlings who<br />

wanted to bring home the town<br />

flower. The uber-talented (and<br />

winged) Tate sisters Sammy and<br />

Maddy worked their fairy magic<br />

with face paints and brushes. Even<br />

a couple of adults sat down to get<br />

the special treatment! Our Fairy<br />

& Toad Garden contest attracted<br />

its first toad abode this year. Our<br />

young participants all waited anxiously<br />

for the judging at the end of<br />

the day and each won a prize.<br />

On Sunday, May 15, a group<br />

of 20 volunteers descended on<br />

the <strong>Holliston</strong> Police Station for the<br />

second phase of Brandon Battick’s<br />

Eagle Scout project. Brandon’s<br />

project included renovating some<br />

existing beds, and creating new<br />

beds near the entry and exits of the<br />

Police Station. Phase I involved<br />

removal of grassy areas and overgrown<br />

shrubs at the foundation,<br />

and adding compost to the new<br />

beds. Several <strong>Holliston</strong> in Bloom<br />

PHD’s (professional hole diggers)<br />

joined Eagle Scout Brandon Battick,<br />

Boy Scout Troup 72 along<br />

with several parents, Selectman Jay<br />

Marsden and his family, and Mark<br />

Ahronian of Ahronian Landscaping<br />

at the <strong>Holliston</strong> Police Station.<br />

New perennials and annuals were<br />

planted in the large beds, new<br />

shrubs replaced the overgrown<br />

rosebushes, plants were to Officer<br />

Johnson’s memorial under<br />

the Moon Tree, mulch was spread<br />

onto the new and existing beds,<br />

and another team also weeded<br />

the rear slope. Upon completion<br />

of the work, Lieutenant Denman<br />

presented a Certificate of Appreciation<br />

from Police Chief Moore.<br />

All plantings were donated by the<br />

Huntington/Cohen family, Ahronian<br />

Landscaping, and <strong>Holliston</strong><br />

in Bloom.<br />

We want to thank Michelle<br />

Savino for her generous support<br />

for our Fashion Show on May 22<br />

at Upper Town Hall. Her salon<br />

not only styled all the hair fashions,<br />

they donated raffle prizes and<br />

wine, and also coordinated the entire<br />

show. We also appreciate our<br />

friends at Fine Feathers in Medway<br />

for providing the fun fashions and<br />

accessories for the models, Dave<br />
