Mustang Gardens Sprouting

The first flowers of spring are blooming in the Mustang Gardens. Delicate blue scillia are blooming right in front of our copper sign. We've put up some temporary fencing to keep little feet from trampling the new tulips that are coming up. There should be many blooms appearing next week!
It looks like many of the perennials that we planted last year have made it. We can still use some more. If anyone has pampas or other decorative grasses, we have a place to plant them.
We have a recent donation by Logan McConnell's grandmother, Cindy, who works at Gemini. The Gemini organization donates $250 to a charity of the employee's choice. We will soon be receiving a red bud tree to plant in the east flower bed. This tree will be planted in memory of Brady Stortz, our original inspiration for planting the Mustang Gardens.
We will also be receiving new lettering "North Winneshiek" to be mounted on the east wall of the building. You will be able to identify us in the dark! We'll plant that decorative grass below the sign. The lettering is being made by Brian Peterson at Letterwerks, a corporate Friend of North Winneshiek at a very reasonable rate.
