Cindy and Jim Traverso and their son Luke of Summit have teamed up with Union Counties Adopt-A-Park to donate annual flowers, soil and mulch, and maintain a cement planter in Briant Park in Springfield throughout the growing season.
“Union County parks thrive because of the volunteers that contribute year round,” said Freeholder Chairman Alexander Mirabella. “I would like to thank the Traverso family and all volunteers who help keep county parks beautiful.”
The Traverso family has donated various species of plants such as blue marvel salvia, red snapdragons, white begonias, blue lobelia, and sweet alyssum.
