The Lyndhurst Beautification Commission planted flowers around town hall this spring. The event was a chance for the commission members to meet with young students and children from the area who put their gloves on and gave a helping hand. Brian Haggerty, then-commissioner of the department of public works, was on hand to award certificates to the participants, which included Daisy Troop #620. Commission Secretary Sue Benson planned the event with flowers purchased from Centre Ridge in Nutley. Among the buds were red geraniums, green spikes, white scaevola and yellow petunias.
Among the students who participated from the high school were Sarah Fearon, Jessalyn Grimmeyer, Lindsay Roberts, Derrine Valder and Liza Feurtado. In the daisy troop were Christina Alberti, Tatiana Arqujo, Gilian Burns, Reagan Ferschweiler and Sara Rankin.
Pat Dahlman, a perennial volunteer herself, also helped plant along Valley Brook Avenue.
