Throughout the hamlet of Milton hanging flower baskets brightened the storefronts.

The Hamlet of Milton Association
[HMA] is at it again – this time they
recently gathered up a passel of
volunteers and planted a wide variety of
colorful flowers and plants in and around
the hamlet area, with the simple goal of
beautifying where they live and work.
HMA is the brainchild of a trio of
local business women (and friends) -
Vivian Lanzarone, Stephanie Calabrese,
C.J. Hartwell - who got together several
years ago “over a glass or two of wine”
and decided to make a difference in the
hamlet.
“Today is May 20 – pot party – we
planted today,” Lanzarone said.
Lanzarone procures her flowers and
plants from the Wallkill View Farm
Garden Center in New Paltz.
“The Ferrantes own it and their flowers
are just so healthy and I like to put them
in looking nice and mature,” she said. “I
want to put them in and - bam - look at
that.”
The trio is quick to thank many of the
families in town for their help with the
plantings, all of which go in the ground
or in pots in a matter of hours.
“We have the Tabascos and the Kents
and everybody comes out,” she said. “I
am going to say we had about twenty-five
people here today and everybody worked
their butts off.”
Over the winter Lanzarone figures out
just what they will need for the annual
May planting.
“I order everything and then we
coordinate all of the potting soil with
Jeff [Paladino of Milton Hardware],”
she said, adding that the optimum time
for planting, to avoid frost, is between
Mother’s Day and Memorial Day.
Lanzarone said they do plantings
not only around the clock tower at the
Library but in front of the Post Office,
the Milton Fire House, “and Brooklyn
Bottling gets one, the Chrysler dealer
gets one, the bank gets one and Ginos
gets one; we have so many people that are
involved.”
Lanzarone says she constantly receives
positive feedback for their efforts.
“Everybody says its so beautiful,” she
said with a smile.

Library in Milton got a splash of color.
