Weary weeder could use a hand with Main Street flowerbeds

| May 15, 2025 12:00 AM

It all started five years ago. I noticed the VFW bump-out, as I call the flowerbeds at the four corners on Polson’s Main Street, was looking pretty ratty.

My husband, father and grandfathers are/were veterans. I felt they and all veterans deserved a better recognition.

Under the auspices of the Greater Polson Community Foundation Beautification Community, I started to weed, water and clean it up. Eventually the project morphed into lowering the dirt mounds which couldn’t hold the layer of gravel – the gravel ended up in the streets leaving ugly dirt patches in the beds – and removal of the few surviving scraggly plants due to lack of sufficient watering.
