Lawrenceville Main Street gets its evergreens that fill the hanging winter baskets throughout town from Kales Nursery, which donates and delivers several varieties of freshly cut trees to Weeden Park. Then the LMS Landscape/Design Committee and community volunteers spend about 25 hours cutting up the trees and placing more than 1,000 branches in the town’s 15 hanging baskets and business planters. ▲

For this project, sponsored by the volunteer Lawrenceville Main Street Landscape/Design Committee, each child received iridescent paper with instructions on how to create an origami peace dove. More than 100 multi-colored ornaments adorn the tree in the Weeden Park gazebo on Main Street, sending a message of peace and goodwill to the entire community.▲
Evening commuters on Route 206 through historic Lawrenceville are treated to the sight of the village’s quaint gazebo lit by hundreds of sparkling, white twinkle lights. This year’s theme of “Winter Wonderland” was conceived and executed by decorator Hugo Cavalcanti and master gardener Andrea Rabitz, member of the LMS Landscape/Design Committee. The holiday tree was donated by Steve Willard from SavATree Lawn Care and Tree Service. On Dec. 7, Lawrenceville residents participated in “Communities of Light” in support of Womanspace, a local non-profit. They placed luminaries near the gazebo as a symbol of hope for victims of domestic violence.▲Snowman▲
