Volunteers help beautify parks, Olde Pickerington through Adopt-A-Flowerbed program
Pickerington officials hope a relatively small investment in public flower beds will be followed by a bloom of renewed civic pride and a more beautiful city landscape.
The Pickerington Parks and Recreation Department recruited residents, youth groups and local organizations in April to spruce up eight public flower beds by ridding them of weeds and filling them with fresh flowers and plants.
Through the new Adopt-A-Flowerbed program, parks and rec officials have received commitments from various groups and individuals to care for small gardens in Sycamore Creek Park, Willow Pond Park and at the Olde Pickerington Village gazebo through October.
