The Capitol Square Review and Advisory Board (CSRAB) is proud announce the acceptance of a $2,000 grant from The Little Garden Club of Columbus. The grant was used to purchase flowers that have been planted on Veterans Plaza and the Statehouse grounds. The flower pattern will form the American and Ohio flags. Funds have also purchased annuals that form quilt patterns on the north and south side of Capitol Square. This year’s quilt patterns are “Maple Leaf” in the Broad Street planter and “Star Flower” in the State Street planter.

“We are extremely grateful to the Little Garden Club of Columbus for their generous donation. The Club’s support enhances the Statehouse grounds for all Ohioans to enjoy –CSRAB is proud of our partnership that continues to bear beautiful fruit,” said William E. Carleton, executive director of CSRAB.
