Warwick - When John and Johanna Fischer
renovated the former creamery on Spring Street on its 100th birthday in
1998, little did they know that their efforts would eventually become
the catalyst that is gradually remaking that neighborhood into the
hottest new merchant area in the Village of Warwick.
Fischer’s
Auto Repair, 21 Spring St., is the latest recipient of the Warwick in
Bloom Community Beautification Certificate, which acknowledges the
aesthetic contributions that local businesses are making to the
community with plants, flowers and the “curb appeal” that creates a
favorable first impression.
“We keep the interior of our garage super clean
because we want customers to know that details are important,” said
John Fischer, who holds an ASE Certification as a master technician and
an AAS degree in Automotive Engineering. “We think that the outside of
a building is just as important.”
What makes the Fischer Auto
Repair building unique, however, is that its exterior changes with the
seasons. During the warmer months, visitors can view window boxes and
outside planters that feature colorful annual and perennial flowering
plants.
As the temperature gets colder, evergreens and holly dominate the entrance way.
“John
and Johanna Fischer continue to make a beautiful statement about their
neighborhood, and we wanted to let them know that the community really
appreciates it,” said Mayor Michael Newhard, who also is a member of
Warwick in Bloom.
Fischer Auto Repair has become an important
business on Spring Street, which has recently seen new investments in
two new restaurants, a gourmet market and a dry cleaner.

Warwick
in Bloom is an organization of volunteers who, on behalf of the Village
of Warwick, won the national contest for community beautification,
entitled “America in Bloom” in 2003. It was possible due to various
individuals and groups throughout the Warwick Valley community,
including growers, nurseries and gardening professionals who share
their expertise with all residents.
