  sponsored programs is encouraged.
• To promote civic beauty with seasonal plantings throughout the Town,
  to maintain the historic gardens, and to promote well-being through
  garden therapy.
• To encourage study in the environmental sciences by awarding scholarships
  to graduating Acton seniors who intend to major in an environmental
  field, and award educational grants to Town of Acton employees
  and Town organizations to directly benefit residents of Acton
  .
• To respond to requests by local community agencies for floral arrangements,
  financial assistance, or volunteers to help with civic projects.
