ITEM 6: OLD BUSINESS
6-a. Summer Flower Beds
The Commission discussed the upcoming spring planting season. The following items
were discussed'
· Blooming lilies often obstruct the Leif Hansen sign in the summer. The
Committee suggested either moving the entire sign up or back three feet or planting
pixi-lilies; the existing lilies would be re-planted to the sides of the signs.
· Plant more nasturtiums, rudbeckia, and lobelia as they are hearty and
lovely.
· Try to obtain another shade of kale. The red kale looked great; perhaps
the pink variety would fare well.
· For boxes, use either all one color or one color along with a similar shade.
· Be careful when planting donated plant material as not all plants do well
outdoors. Some of the material donated by greenhouses has not been tested for
viability in the outdoors.
Remove grass from various areas and replace in Erik Hansen Scout Park.
· Poppies should be planted at the Erik Hansen Scout Park.
The Committee agreed next month everyone should bring a design to be discussed.
Additionally, Dimmick asked everyone to consider a theme for the planting season;
member Rogers suggested "Splashes of Color."
