Thank you to our neighborhood gardeners!
If you haven’t looked lately, the four flower beds in Lindenwood Park have been full of color thanks to the hard work and long hours of some dedicated neighbors. Take a moment to say thank you if you see them working their gardens. Those responsible for the gardens are as follows:
- Corner of Jamieson & Lindenwood: Richard Stephens
- Corner of Jamieson & Pernod: Steve Meyer
- Corner of Prather & Pernod: Aaron Dohogne, Mary Brong
- Butterfly Garden: Aaron Dohogne & volunteers
- Gardens around the Service Building: Lindsay Alsop, Doug Dick
Many others tend to the park in many ways from collecting cans and miscellaneous trash to pulling weeds or doing goodwill in our parks in a variety of ways. If you see someone lending a hand, thank them and lend them a hand if you can. There is always something to do to keep our park green! Thank you in advance for your efforts.
Lindenwood Butterfly Garden
One special project that was completed in 2010 was the Lindenwood Rose / Butterfly Garden that was installed in front of the pavilion and tennis courts.
Through a grant from Operation Brightside, combined with donated labor and equipment from Timberline Landscapes, Inc. and funds from the LNA, we were able to add a jewel to Lindenwood Park. A noteworthy ‘thank you’ should go out to former board member Sharon Panion who wrote the grant application that resulted in our ability to complete this project! it was updated in 2015 with more native butterfly attracting plants and native plants.
If you are interested in helping to maintain the gardens, please email [email protected].
