For the past several years, beautiful hanging flower baskets and planters have adorned Wall Street throughout the summer, bringing vibrant life to downtown Eagle River. Initially launched by the Design Committee of the Eagle River Revitalization Program (ERRP), this project has grown into a collaborative community effort. Nancy Schuller, the Committee Chair, highlights the invaluable support from the Vilas County Master Gardening Club, which helps coordinate the fourteen stunning hanging baskets and the thirty lush planters decorating the corners of Wall and Railroad Streets.
To maintain this beautiful display, the ERRP has invested in a specialized "watering cart" for daily hydration of the planters and baskets. The City of Eagle River generously donates water to fill the tank twice each morning, ensuring consistent care throughout the season.
In addition to the floral displays, the ERRP also manages the purchase and replacement of approximately 100 flags on street poles along HWY 45 and Wall Street. These flags are displayed from before Memorial Day until after Veterans Day, adding a patriotic touch to our community.
“We are deeply grateful to all the individuals, businesses, and donors who support this ongoing project,” says Nancy Schuller. “Your contributions are essential to keeping Eagle River beautiful, and we look forward to expanding our efforts in the coming years.”
