Mayor, City Council and Artists Unveil Decorative FlowerPlanter Pots That Will Be Included in Plant Pride On Parsons Cleanup This SaturdayMayor Michael B. Coleman, City Council President Pro-Tem Hearcel F. Craig, the Heart of Ohio Tole Chapter painters, business and neighborhood leaders today unveiled some of the decorative flower planter pots that will be placed along Parsons Avenue during this Saturday’s Plant Pride On Parsons cleanup event.  The Heart of Ohio Tole Chapter painters decorated 28 flower pots and South Side elementary and high school students painted three pots.  Hundreds of volunteers will clean litter, remove graffiti and beautify Parsons Avenue between Livingston Avenue and State Route 104 this Saturday beginning at 9:30 a.m.“Plant Pride on Parsons demonstrates that we are united around a clean and revitalized Parsons Avenue, the spine of the South Side,” said Mayor Coleman.  “The designs on these flower pots have captured the spirit of everyone who feels passionately about Parsons Avenue’s history and future.”Mayor Coleman and South Side area businesses and neighborhood organizations are among the sponsors of the 31 decorated flower pots.  At least 25 South Side businesses and neighborhood groups will provide volunteers for the cleanup and some will donate materials or refreshments.“Parsons Avenue is an important economic corridor in Columbus,” said Hearcel F. Craig, chair of the Public Service and Transportation Committee.  “This beautification effort will make the area more inviting to shoppers and help create a greater sense of identity for residents.”The Heart of Ohio Tole Chapter has approximately 230 members and was founded in Columbus in 1975.  Tole is decorative painting that historically has been done on tin surfaces, but can also include other painting media.  In addition to Plant Pride On Parsons, HOOT’s philanthropic activities include their Memory Box program—hand-painted boxes donated to area hospitals for parents whose children have died—and the donation of painted caps and t-shirts to patients at Nationwide Children’s Hospital.“One benefit of learning to paint has given our members the opportunity to share their time, talent and creativity to benefit our communities,” said Phyllis Gibbs, past president of the Heart of Ohio Tole Chapter.  “We have enjoyed our role in planting pride on Parsons Avenue.”“Plant Pride on Parsons is just the spark the corridor needs to get the merchants and surrounding neighborhood organizations involved together to move forward in the revitalization of Parsons Avenue,” said Marc Borst, Parsons Avenue Merchants Association president.                                                                             The City’s Keep Columbus Beautiful program, housed in the Department of Public Service, has worked closely with the Parsons Avenue Merchants Association, HOOT and other groups participating in Plant Pride On Parsons.  KCB will provide trash bags, gloves, litter grabbers and other cleanup equipment at this Saturday’s event.  In 2009, KCB worked with nearly 9,900 volunteers to clean 200.1 tons of litter from Columbus neighborhoods.
