Now that the gardening season is over, I want to thank several volunteers who maintain some of the flowers along the Creek and downtown. Many people probably assume that the City maintains all of our public gardens. City workers do maintain the planters along Washington Avenue, as well as the gardens in the parks, and they do a fine job.
Several garden spots, though, are planted and tended by volunteers–people who just spotted a garden that needed some love, and adopted it!
