Landscape Committee Back at Work!!

The landscape committee has kicked off our Spring landscape improvements! Today they began by planting around more of the utility boxes in our common spaces:
This area is planted around the utility boxes
back in the NE green...

...and this is another view.

This box is also in the NE green, along the street.
(The scraggly plants, which were pruned back for the
winter and for transplanting, will fill in fully with time.)

This is what these areas looked like BEFORE the plantings.
(Lots of ugly utility boxes, which have now been beautified!)

This box -- which is back in the NW green -- was planted last Fall...

...as was this area also, visible along Hancock Ave.

Additionally, some flowering carpet roses were planted
at the end of the cul-de-sac (on Hancock) last Wednesday.

Thanks to all of the homeowners who participated in this fun planting party! As with all plantings so far, no HOA funds were used. All plants were donated (or purchased with money specifically donated for this effort). We are all GRATEFUL for these willing, generous donations.

If you would like to donate plants (or money for plants) for plantings around your home, please contact Sue Swanson at (425) 441-8162. With donations, additional plantings can easily be arranged.

Thanks also to everyone who enjoyed participating in Sunday's Window Box workshop, and thanks to Sue Swanson & the Landscape Committee for putting this on!
