the flower pots large and small and shared some of the results with us - approval was general comments -
maybe more colour in the pots with different flowers added or ribbons etc. Many would do it again to
beautify downtown Tillsonburg. Question was asked about the dead spaces left by trees on Broadway St -
what is being done to replace them? BIA looking to this and into lighting through some infrastructure that we
have talked about for Broadway St. We must look at presenting a budget to Council for 2018 program and
doing a power point presentation, sharing survey results, etc. Members of H&B along with the Hort Society
