The Beautification Committee will be planting at the Four Corners area in several of the permanent planters located there in order to improve an important public area in our neighborhood.
We need your help. Neighbors who wish to donate excess plant stock from their yards should call the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council at 862.5122 and leave a message including your address and phone number, and the type of plant you’d like to contribute.
We also need mulch and any extra top soil residents have. Take a look around your yard and see if there might be a few bulbs or perennials you’d just as soon “relocate:” Some specific suggestions are: daylilies seasonal bulbs-daffodil or iris liriope (monkey grass) sedum hostas barberry cotoneaster Once you’ve identified what you’d like to donate, call the SDCC office.
We will even try to send a volunteer to help with the removal, if necessary.
The committee hopes to prepare the containers and plant on Operation Blitz Day, May 2, 1992, so please call in your donation by the end of April. Think of this as a good way to clean up your garden and contribute to the visual improvement of our neighborhood.
