Newtown Square's Hanging Baskets Get New Ombudsman And Coordinator

NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA — The Hanging Basket program in Newtown Square has a new leader in a member of Mostardi’s Nursery team.

Newtown Square in Bloom said AJ Iacuzio has offered to lead the charge for Donor Appeal and Volunteer Coordination for the Hanging Basket program in Newtown Square.

According to Newtown Square in Bloom, Iacuzio has been responsible for organizing the 100 or so empty baskets starting every January, planting the seedlings and nurturing their massive growth to hang on local street poles by the end of April on Newtown Square’s main streets.

"This is our fifteenth year with Steve Mostardi’s guidance in creating these special floral arrangements," Iacuzio said. "Cultivating and growing the Hanging Baskets is something I look forward to every year. It gives me a wonderful sense of happiness that so many Newtown Square residents comment on how beautiful the Baskets are. I am grateful for NSiB Charman Paul Seligson’s ambition and determination to oversee the success of this project."

Iacuzio, a resident of Claymont, Delaware, will have a greater input in the basket’s floral composition. He and Paul Seligson will be working together on the Plan and Implementation of the 2025 Contribution Campaign for Hanging Baskets.
