Garden at South and Woodsdale

The daffodils blooms disappeared quickly, perhaps picked, but the purple alium stayed for two weeks. Perennials should be blooming for most of the summer.

Red buds in bloom

Ah, the red bud trees in bloom. Highland Park celebrates spring with them.

Memorial Day irises and flags

For a few more days or maybe a week or two, purple and yellow irises will bloom in the Triangle Garden. They made a lovely Memorial Day display. Thanks to Mr. Tomaszeski for mowing the lawn, thanks to Tom Leonard, Mary Sparrow, and Molly Jo Tomaszeski for planting the cana bulbs that will soon be the main feature of that garden. It looks great! 

Snow on Snow

A touch of cheer at the Triangle

Molly, Mary, and Kris set up three decorated trees a few weeks ago. The trees certainly brighten our neighborhood landscape as we get ready for a long white and grey winter.

Regular Litter Patrol

Litter Patrol at 9:00 a.m. the first and third Saturday morning of each month ... we gather at the triangle garden Airport and South Ave. Committee chairwoman Jamie will give you gloves, bags and instructions on areas to be cleaned this time. PLEASE come spend some time on a first or third Saturday and  make a difference in your neighborhood.

How full the garden looks in September, compared to August's view! Rain really makes a difference. Six volunteers transplanted perennials and bushes, removed a crabapple tree, and dug up the canna lilies (lower 2 photos). We tried to leave some color for the end of the season viewing.
