All I can say is, “Wow!” Surely by now you have seen the amazing amount of bountiful blooms in Ridgewood’s Central Business District (CBD). The planters are overflowing with color; the reds, the yellows, the pinks, the greens. They are plentiful and they are beautiful. The CBD has never looked so amazing! The numerous gigantic planters, overflowing with colorful cannas and countless other plants, are striking indeed.

Project Pride, The Women Gardeners of Ridgewood, The Ridgewood Conservancy for Public Lands, Ridgewood’s Department of Parks, seven local landscape contractors and many individual businesses contributed to make our streets and vest pocket areas in Ridgewood really come alive. We should all extend a hearty “Thank you!” to all who contributed to make our village gorgeous!

It is all a matter of presence and we want our residents, visitors and those who work in the village to be proud of our appearance. This is a “feel good” story. How can you not smile at all the beautiful planters as you walk around the streets in Ridgewood this summer, not to mention many of the tree wells, the planters provided by local businesses and the tremendous efforts by volunteer groups.
