Status of Beautification Donations Account
Mrs. Geiger read the report submitted by the Secretary~ stating
the balance in the account was $277.04. The profits from the Car
Wash were $227.(K)~ plus $50.04 which was already in the account
from previous donations.
LandscapinQ Project at Fire Station
Mrs. Geiger showed the Commi ttee ..embers her sl.:etch of what she
thought would be a good landscaping design for the Fire Station.
The sketch included three large circles~ each of which would have
a tree with four ground plants around the circle. The trees she
chose were two 7 - 10 gallon cherry laurels and a 7 - 10 gallon
crape myrtle~ stating that the cherry laurels were not prone to
drought or freeze and would keep their green leaves all year
round. The crape myrtle could be in the center and would provide
color for eight to nine months out of the year~ losing its leaves
in the winter months. All three would be relatively easy to
maintain for the Fire Department personnel. The ground plants
surrounding the circle could be 3 gallon green pittosporums and
variegated pittosporums~ and these she said also were not prone
to drought or freeze and needed relatively little care. The
MeMbers discussed this choice and other possibilities and ended
up with the original design by Mrs. Geiger. Size and cost was
also discussed~ as well as who would be responsible for the
initial planting. Mr. Loomis agreed to meet with Mr. Barlow at a
later time to chalk off the circles and kill the grass and weeds
in the areas where the plants will be placed. The Comaittee also
decided to plant some plants in the front of the planter which
surrounds the Fire Buildings. These~ they decided~ would be
chosen on the basis of availability as a lot of varieties of
plants cannot be planted this time of year due to the heat.
Suggestions for the planter included bush daisies~ crotons~ or
copper plants.
