The Town Hall and the Town Hall Annex have been landscaped to improve the appearance of the area and promote biodiversity and resiliency.
“It’s now a beautiful, welcoming area,“ said Groton Beautification Committee Chair Cindy Fortner.
Peter Wood, a landscape contractor working with the Groton Beautification Committee, which focuses on beautifying Groton through plantings and arts, designed a new landscape for outside the Town Hall at 45 Fort Hill Road, said Fortner. The project entailed removing the old bushes and sod and installing trees and flowering plants that provide habitat for bees, butterflies and insects and birds.
