Our Streetscape of Flowers
Wednesdays 8:00am May-Sept
Beginning in 2015 our goal was to develop a streetscape of planters on every corner, with cascading bright flowers to compliment the architectural beauty of the buildings on downtown Main St. Through joint efforts with the EMGC, the Village Board, local businesses, and the Cattaraugus County Department of Tourism, a grant was acquired, additional planters, watering system and flowers were purchased.
Now, every Wednesday morning at 8:00 am May- September look for the pink -shirted garden club members manicuring Main St flowers, plants and subways. Continued support from the Village plus fundraising activities by EMGC will ensure that the planters continue to be filled each year for months of enjoyment! Join us and get your pink shirt! Annual membership dues $25.
StoryWalk® Project: Bringing Books to Main Street Allegany
We are excited to announce that we are kicking off a community project: a permanent StoryWalk(R) on Main Street in the Village of Allegany, created in partnership with the Village of Allegany, The Allegany Library, and the Enchanted Mountain Garden Club of Allegany. The project will provide an outdoor reading experience for families, encourage walking and literacy, and add beauty and community pride to our downtown area.
A StoryWalk(R) displays the pages of a children's book on a series of outdoor signs along a walking path. Families read the story together, stopping at each station to view one or two pages, plus simple engagement prompts for additional fun for children.
