Merrill Downtown Hanging Baskets

/in , , /by

Hanging baskets have recently been installed along Front Street in downtown Merrill.  The Project Merrill Team partnered with Farm Country Nursery to grow 20 hanging baskets for the downtown business corridor.  The Merrill Public Works Department installed metal brackets on downtown buildings for hanging the baskets.  The project was completely funded through local donations from business owners, community members, the City of Merrill, and the Merrill Lion’s Club.  Come take a walk along Front Street and enjoy the beautiful baskets.  Thank you to the Project Merrill Team, the City of Merrill, Farm Country Nursery, and to the many community members and organizations who donated to this project.
