Not Just Dahlias

Posted on by Pat D

The dahlias along the boulevard are looking spectacular and speak so well of the City and it’s citizens, many thanks always to the Generous Gardeners. But it’s not just the dahlias…..there’s amazing choreography to the selected plantings done each year and those deserve some applause and attention too. All of it seems to be more beautiful since Sept. 11 2001.
