Greenwood Metropolitan
District
By Doug Crawford
Saturday, Oct. 29th, the Lakelands Master Gardeners tackled another beautification
project. This project was at the Greenwood Metropolitan District’s water feature.
Eleven Master Gardeners were met at 9:00am with a cool 42 degree temperature and cloudy,
damp condi-tions. But the weather didn’t stop them from having a wonderful morning full
of laughs and fun. For two and a half hours they moved two Junipers and planted 31 pansies.
Next they planted some Dwarf Gardenias, Mis-canthus Sinenis Grass, Pink Muhly Grass and two
Dwarf Holly bushes. They finished the project off with a layer of pine straw mulch for just
the right look. The Lakelands Master Gardeners continue to serve the Lakelands area year
round with horticultural help and education.
