Inscription.
For 20 years (1997-2017) Josh Polan and the Riverbend Nursery Team worked "hand in glove" with the Lewisburg Foundation to envision design, develop and maintain the gardens and green spaces of downtown Lewisburg.

75 trees, 14 gardens, thousands of perennials and annuals, all carefully considered and expertly executed.

Thank you
Josh Polan
