New Floral Garden Greets Residents and Visitors to Saratoga


Saratoga Springs City Public Works Commissioner Skip Scirocco is pictured welcoming members of Saratoga 150, the Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce and the NYS Department of Transportation to the unveiling of a new floral garden. Also pictured with Commissioner Scirocco are Charles Wait, Douglas Rose (DOT), Rod Sutton and Todd Shimkus.

The $22,000 display was a dream of Scirocco’s  for a parcel of state-owned land at the north entrance to the city at Route 50 and the arterial.  The funds were provided by the Saratoga County Chamber and Saratoga 150.

The garden includes colorful perennials and evergreens that will be maintained by the Department of Public Work’s flower crew each year.

 

Included in the garden is an illuminated welcome sign which is a sample of new directional signs to be erected throughout the city.
