About the Project
This site, located at the intersection of St. Joseph Street and Ormsby Street, is one of three gateways that provides a beautiful welcome to those entering the Hilltop. The site is planted with perennial wildflowers. John plans to expand the plantings in future years down the hill.
“ If we are able to take a vacant property and just reinvent it – make it nice – maybe that can be contagious and get the ball rolling. People will begin to think, “What can I do to my house or my yard?” That’s what I hope – that this thing can just spur some interest and pride of ownership.”
