Historical June 1989 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.
Do you get a great feeling watching green things pop their heads through the soil and put on a splendid display of color? Do you love to putter in the yard? Do you think this neighborhood could be spruced up with a few choice plantings? Have you noticed the Rosedale barricades lately or spotted the daffodils and mums at Four Corners?
If you answered yes to any of the above, today is your lucky day.
We have got a way for you to satisfy that nagging green thumb while helping out our neighborhood!
A group is now forming that will work to: 1) maintain Rosedale, Four Corners and other existing area plantings, 2) seek additional beautification projects, 3) explore community gardening possibilities and, 4) generally improve the botanical environment that we share. Anyone interested in sharing time, ideas, materials or money should contact the SDCC office at 862-5122 or Catherine Forslund at 725-7144.
We want to celebrate the goodwill and neighborliness that comes from working collectively for a common goal. Let’s make good use of our green surroundings and coax from them the best they have to offer us, whether it be beauty, fragrance, erosion control, food, privacy or just the joy of being alive.
