Throughout the week, members of the Street Tree Advisory Board have been lending a hand to our Public Service crews with the annual flower displays. 🌸
Board Chair Patrick Burks recently planted one of the beautiful planters outside the Community Center, featuring petunias, begonias, and lobularia surrounding a bald cypress tree.
A big thank you to Patrick and all of our dedicated volunteers who help make Canal Wi******er a little more colorful and welcoming each year. 🌻
