Here's a little-known fact about the new mural. The colors of the flowers represent local businesses around town.
The yellow chrysanthemums represent Mums from Minnesota, also know as Faribault Growers, Inc. This business was started by Edgar and Ruth Lehman in Faribault over 70 years ago and is one of the only shops that sells hardy, perennial garden mums.
The light pink and orange peonies reflect Brand Peony Farm, which dates back to 1870! Fun fact: this business is the reason Faribault earned the nickname "peony capital of the world." The Farm has grown over 1,000 peony varieties.
