Beautification & Design

The Design Committee works to enhance the downtown's physical and visual assets that set the downtown district apart.

TREES ON MAIN STREET

The Design Committee and local volunteers continue this annual beautification effort begun by Norma Beal and Ruth Foster. Trees on Main Street also supports the Green Ellsworth initiative to plant more trees in our city.

We are working to make this program sustainable by replacing some of the flowerpots on Main Street with trees! When these trees reach maturity, they will be permanently planted and become fixtures of the urban landscape.

We're grateful to grow from the roots of these hard-working women who were entrepreneurs and community builders. To make this project a success, we need volunteers to help water the trees. Volunteers water the plants just once during their week. Interested in helping out? Reach out to chesnee@heartofellsworth.org

A huge thank you to our community donors & businesses who sponsored the trees & flowers boxes on Main Street and the Union River Bridge. This community tradition enhances the beauty of our downtown district. Initiatives like this are essential for fostering a vibrant and welcoming community. Their support demonstrates commitment to downtown Ellsworth’s beautification and shows community spirit!
