Civic Beautification Committee -
Reading Town Hall Plantings
Civic Beautification continues to beautify and create new plantings at the Reading Town Hall. The Town Hall front entrance on Lowell St, the side entrance (by the parking lot), the rear walkway and the Woburn Street side of the building have all been transformed. The effort even included a plant rescue from the Reading Public Library before Library renovations started. The results are amazing! Special thanks to our Garden Club members, DPW members and other community members that helped out.
