The island in the middle of the rotary connecting Common and Orchard street is filled with all kinds of greenery for the public to admire. On July 20, the Rotary Club of Watertown spent their day gardening the rotary so the city can add some colorful plants to it in the near future.
The weeding and cleaning of the island through the City of Watertown’s Adopt-an-Island program is one the many events Watertown’s Rotary Club holds each year.

The Rotary Club adopted the island to help keep up with the appearance and cleanliness of the area that hundreds of motorists pass by each day.
We adopted this island two years ago, so we helped maintain it and right now we’re pulling out a bunch of extra brush … (Adopt an Island) a sponsorship opportunity with the City, so we made a donation,” said president of the Rotary Club, Kim Severino.
The Club is always looking for ways to help the community of Watertown.
“What we do in the community is we try to do anything that makes a difference,” said Severino.
One of their upcoming events for the fall is their Senior Cookout which will be held on Oct. 1, 2023. The Rotary expects to welcome around 200 senior citizens to the Sons of Italy that day where there will be food and entertainment.
