IDI International, Inc. donated 14 trees – 4 Autumn Blaze Maples, 6 Glenleven Lindens, and 4 Austrian Pine Trees. Walsh Landscape Construction, Inc. assisted with site layout and planted the 14 trees and also 5 Sargent Crab Trees. The Hanover Park Public Works Department assisted with the site plan, the preparation of the brick paver path and concrete pads, installed two benches, a flag pole, and a light for the flag pole. Matthew Masciola, as part of his Eagle Scout service project, coordinated the Boy Scouts and adult leaders of Boy Scout Troop No. 191 to prepare 3 planting beds with 10 tons of sand and 12 cubic yards of mushroom compost, planted 186 Stella D’Oro daylilies, 124 Black Eyed Susans, 26 Autumn Jazz Arrowwood Viburnum bushes, spread 9 cubic yards of mulch in the planting beds and installed a brick paver path leading to the flag pole and benches.
