desire their flower designs be identical; weed killer applications needed; adding
annuals, moving and removing plantings in the Rotary bed and bench, etc.

Fritz Creek Nursery or Soldotna to review flowerbeds, plantings, etc. Frates noted it

contact Fritz Creek Nursery to make the final arrangements.

improvements be made at the Historical Society building (the old library building) in
Old Town.
