Downtown Natchez Alliance (DNA) - A Mississippi Main Street Designated Community
Natchez Mall Donates Concrete Planters to DNA

August 20, 2022

Thank you to the Natchez Mall for donating over 40 large concrete planters (from 3 to 5 feet wide) to the Downtown Natchez Alliance.

Working in partnership with Garden Lovers of Natchez, The Community Alliance, Mike Blattner, David & Betty Paradise, and Bill Jones of Dozer, LLC, we hatched a plan to remove the enormous planters from the mall and store them until they find homes in community parks, gardens, or streetscapes throughout our town.

Thank you to Bill Jones and David Escamilla and team for handling the truly heavy lifting!
