Early June was planting time for our two spring civic improvement projects. At
Agnes Morley, 249 Milbank Avenue, we refurbished the entrance driveway
plantings with perennials around the flag pole and planted flowering annuals in
their four flower boxes lining the patio. Existing rhododendron and hosta were
moved from the flagpole area to the south end of the patio. At Wilbur Peck on
Davis Avenue, a red maple was planted in a courtyard replacing a tree, originally
planted during the GF landscaping in 1998-9, which had died.
