The Irish Perennial Rescue Society.

The name invokes a number of images, but the one that counts is the image of flower beds around the Washtenaw County Courthouse in downtown Ann Arbor. According to Circuit Court Judge Tim Connors, who has served as the Washtenaw County Chair since 1996, the IPRS “is the oldest service organization in the world, dating back to 400 BC. Its goal is to protect plant life and make the world a better place by saving resources.” The IPRS began its mission of making the world of downtown Ann Arbor a better place when the large planters owned by the City were installed. Judge Connors, who prefers to let the work of the Society take center stage, says that after all appropriate permits and permissions from the Department of Forestry and the Downtown Development Authority were obtained, the IPRS was able to get approval for canna lilies to be planted in the city planters, and for the IPRS to maintain these planters.

When the County added planters outside of the Courthouse, the IPRS went ahead and took responsibility for planting and caring for their new plant life, as well. The first plantings were rescued and donated by Dave King of the Prosecuting Attorney’s office and all the rest of the beautiful flowers in evidence since then have been rescued and donated plantings, too.

Through donations and careful management, the Society was able to buy and use a truck, with all appropriate logos, for caring for these rescued perennials. Zoltowski 17:40, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
