The Flower Queen of Public Lands

um so then okay so there are there i didn't even think about the pots downtown i didn't either yeah or

the

urns in liberty park these are like not some of these sound like not easy spaces to to plan or care for yeah

they have some challenges and we work around that um i have to make a appointment to get the versalist so we can go and do that we've had some problems there for a while they the plumbing at the the the sprinklers for the urns had some problems so we weren't able to plant them for a couple years and in the meantime a sucker tree started in it and so we actually had to take an axe up there and chop it out to get it out and not take out the sprinklers So things like that.

But now that we've got that out, we put some really good soil in there.

And then it's all right.

It waters itself.

It has irrigation.

So we don't have to worry about that.

Cool.

And the downtown, the challenges with downtown is Main Street is a wind tunnel.

Oh,

interesting.

And especially intersections are.

We have to watch the plants that we put in those pots that are at the intersections because they take a lot of wear and tear from the wind.

So more durable plants are put there or we'll put a grass that's got a little height to help break the wind so the other plants are protected.

Sun and shade also down there because of the buildings.

They don't get a lot of sun.

So selecting plants that are going to do well in that condition and give us the most color and beauty.

Cool.

Yeah.

So is that planning? When does all of that happen for the year or for the season, I guess, the growing season?

Okay.

So I just turned in my flower order.

For next year.
