Many thanks to Brent & Barb Gift for donating these beautiful seasonal finials to Mercersburg Beautification! Known for their jaw dropping yard on North Main Street, the Gifts can always be counted on for advice to help make downtown beautiful. We're grateful for their generosity, as well as their many years of service as local educators! Hip hip horay!!

Many, many thanks to Emily Parsons and six of her students from Mercersburg Academy this morning, transitioning our planters over to the fall! We really appreciate your partnership with downtown efforts. It's always sad to see the more robust, vibrant colors of summer come to an end. But it is also nice to welcome more simple shades in the coming months.

Looking for volunteers! Do you have some time to help plant and water the flowers along Main Street? The Main Street Bloom Squad is looking for you! We plant three times a year and water as needed! We'd like to make the downtown beautification efforts a COMMUNITY engagement! It's fun. It's easy. Water alone or water with your friend/spouse! Two hours a morning (divided among volunteers) is all we need. Zero experience required; just bring a great attitude and have a passion to help beautify our lovely downtown! Send us a message and we'll be in touch! 🌸🌼🌺🌻🪻

Brody's out checking your work today! Happy Earth Day! Thanks Mercersburg, PA for recognizing him!

Happy Earth Day! Brody, Mercersburg Beautification’s Director of Quality Control, is asking residents to commit at least 2 hours of yard work this week in celebration of this special day. Whether it’s picking up rubbish, or planting a tree, every effort helps.

A tail wag will signify satisfactory results! As always, don’t forget to lend a hand to neighbors in need. Thank you to everyone for keeping Mercersburg beautiful! 🌎

With the water usage conservation suggestions put forth by the Mercersburg Water Authrority, Mercersburg Beautification is looking at alternative ways to water the downtown planters and baskets for the next couple/few weeks without using the treated water that is in higher demand at the moment. We are asking if anyone has a spare water transfer pump to borrow or be donated to pump water from Johnson's Run. We have access to a private well in Lenwood Heights which is not as convenient, but will be used if we can't find a short term transfer pump. Our water usage is not extreme, but we've got a lot invested in the flowers in town and would hate to lose them if we can come up with another solution. Thanks!!
