Every year members of the Saginaw Valley Master Gardener Association plant the two beds at the entrance to the Children's Zoo at Celebration Square. This year we decided to plant the beds on the hottest day of the year (so far). And to think that last Friday I was wearing a hat and gloves.
No matter. It did not take those intrepid gardeners long to replace a rather weedy setting with beautiful zinnias, cannas, salvia and more. The garden is young yet, but if the plants and the weather cooperate, we hope to see it in all its rich splendor by July. I figure that the bigger these lovely plants grow, the better. Less weeding for me.
So if you are in the neighborhood, be sure to make a stop at the Children's Zoo. It is a lovely place, both animal and plantwise.
