We will be looking for donations from individuals and organizations later this year so we can add to the number. We now have about 60 and would like to add more. As a reference, Red Wing has about 360 baskets throughout their downtown and their outlying commercial district.

I would especially like to thank TJ Heinricy, Streets and Parks Supervisor, and his crew of city employees who hung the flower boxes on the pedestrian bridge and prepared them for planting, as well as the Mayor's Youth Council, the Police Department and the Garden Club.

I especially liked the pots and flowers on the pedestrian bridge, they really ad to the ambiance of the river walk area. The bridge gets a lot of use from me and my family. My husband and I like to walk the kids downtown for dinner. When we are done we will usually walk around. The kids run around the fountain for a while, then it’s over to the “waterfall”, and after that it’s on to the river walk and over the walk bridge. All of the flowers and plants are so beautiful to look at. Thank you! I wanted to say thank you to everyone that worked on the flowers and plants downtown.

Too bad they could not be in place for Ole graduation. They were gorgeous last year. Will there be big hanging flower baskets on the bridge and throughout town like last year?

Good to hear Chief Taylor showed up. Capt. Schroeder was the only 'beauty on duty' cop while I was there. I took photos of other flowers along Division. I'll post that album shortly.

I especially want to thank all of the youth on the Mayor's Youth Council, Captain Roger Schroeder and Chief Mark Taylor of the Police Department, as well as Judy Code, President of the Garden Club who organized and led the effort. We all worked together to beautify the bridge and bring delight to all of Northfield. I hope you stop by to enjoy it and the plantings along the Riverwalk, the Post Office, the Library, the Safety Center, Bridge Square, and in the downtown business district.
