Union Hill has a flower bed


Pretty proud of this, I must admit...
With high praise for the school plant guys who put it in, filled it with gravel (for drainage) and loam, for Frank in Millbury (Union Hill alum!) who donated many of the plants (and much advice), for Dee in Quinsig Village for the irises and more, for the Oak Hill CDC gang for watering, and for Marie Morse, who thinks that more green on Chapin Street is a good thing.
Oh, and my kids, who were enthusiastic planters.

Should anyone wonder, it's mostly prairie grasses and flowers of various kinds, as I have it on good authority that those are what stand the best chance of surviving the oven it's going to be.

Very nice. That builind is something like 110 years old. I've never seen evidence of a flower bed there before. I remember attending school in the 1970s and there was a patch behind the "New Building" where they tried a vegetable garden one year. That was back when Mr Mooney was principal.
