The Main Street Greenville Program is seeking community volunteers to assist for as little as 2 hours per month with the watering of the flowers for the downtown Adopt-A-Box program. Downtown Greenville is the focal point of our county seat and the Main Street Program Flower Committee strives to create a vibrant looking downtown for our community and visitors to enjoy.
Unfortunately our current full time watering volunteers have experienced some family health issues and can no longer continue to provide full time watering for the program at this time. Spencer Landscaping has generously donated the use of their van and watering equipment to the Main Street Greenville Adopt-A-Box Program for 3 mornings per week. Now all we need are some community minded volunteers willing to offer the generosity of their time.
The watering route shift takes approximately 2 hours to complete and consists of 1 driver and 1 watering volunteer to operate the hose. It is preferred the watering be done between the hours of 6 am-9 am to accommodate Spencer Landscaping’s equipment use schedule as well as for traffic safety reasons. (However, an evening water shift may be considered).
The current schedule for watering the 16 street light mounted hanging baskets, 22 large pots and all the downtown planter boxes is on a Sunday-Wednesday-Friday mornings rotation. (If there is sufficient rain fall on your scheduled day to work then watering will not be necessary.)
The flower committee would like each volunteer to commit to assist for as little as 1- 2 hour shift per month and select a morning that best suits his or her schedule (For example: Volunteer the 1st Sunday morning of each month) Of course we will let you volunteer as many shifts as you would like! The Main Street flower committee personnel will train all volunteers on the use of the equipment and all volunteer drivers must have a valid Ohio Driver’s license. A schedule will be worked out to accommodate all volunteers. Your consideration to assist with this community project is very much appreciated!
