colors in the garden include<br />

purple and white flowers.<br />

Many of the plants have attracted<br />

bees and butterflies<br />

to the area, like the milkweed<br />

plants.<br />

“We want what is going<br />

to be sustainable, of course,<br />

in those areas,” Hahn said.<br />

“[Main Street Lockport] has<br />

done a great job of getting<br />

some good pollinators here<br />

that will help the butterflies<br />

and bees and that all goes<br />

into the mix of pollinating<br />

the things that we consume.”<br />

Signage is required somewhere<br />

around the garden to<br />

let the public know about<br />

CN Railroad’s involvement<br />

in the project. Lockport went<br />

a little above and beyond the<br />

requirement and had a custom<br />

metal plaque made. The<br />

plaque is mounted on an old<br />

piece of stone from a Joliet<br />

building, Keller said.<br />

“There is a sign on the<br />

back of the public parking<br />

sign, but this is an added bonus,”<br />

Miller said.<br />

Kvedaras has been to<br />

quite a few unveiling ceremonies<br />

through the grant<br />

program, and said that each<br />

town puts their own spin on<br />

the signage and the plants go<br />

into the gardens.<br />

“From my perspective,<br />

we’re always pleased and<br />

quite flattered by some of the<br />

accommodations that some<br />

of the plantings are done in<br />

the communities,” he said.<br />

“It varies by community,<br />

some of them do more historic<br />

things, some will do just<br />

a pure optical enhancements.<br />

“But, it’s really interesting<br />

to come out and see what<br />

they do with the funds that<br />

we furnish. Kudos to Lockport<br />

for doing a great project.”
