New South Grand Planters a Volunteer Project
After months of street work along South Grand between I-44 and Arsenal we are finally seeing plants in the massive median planters. But, this is not the work of the City’s Parks department. No, this is all done by volunteers. Here is the email I received from a property owner along Grand:
We need volunteers—-to help with planting the landscape in the medians and tree lawn spaces along South Grand from 44 to Arsenal.
Each weekend certain medians will be planted based on a schedule of volunteers.
The tree lawn area’s – between the street curb and sidewalks – are up for adoption to people who will plant, water, and maintain the area. This would certainly beautify any entrance to a business or street.
Please send this email out to any person that may be interested in helping to make South Grand look it’s best.
Did anyone else know this was going to be voluntarily planted and maintained when they started going in? I just assumed this would be done by the city. Not that volunteers can’t do a good job. It just took me by surprise. At least the center planters have irrigation hoses to keep them watered.
If you are interested in helping please email me and I will send you the phone number of the person to contact.
