Ky. Highway Department Approves Traffic Island Design

In September the Kentucky Dept.  of Highways  approved the design and issued a permit
for the plantings in the traffic islands at the intersections of Crescent Avenue and 3^rd/4^th Streets.

Thanks to the efforts of Deb Henning, Chair of the Beautification Committee, with assistance from Sherry Carran,
 the Botany Hills Gateway area will now have a splash of color.
Once the work on the water lines is complete we should be able to begin planting.

Below is a list of plants needed for the islands:  

12  Rudbeckia fulgida/Black-Eyed Susan 

10  Rhus aromatica Grolow/Fragrant sumac 

30  Salvia azurea/Pitcher sage - Nekan 

24  Sporobolus heterolepic/Prairie Dropseed 

  8  Asclepias tuberose/Butterfly weed 

31  Oenothera speciosa/Showy primrose 

  6  Liatris spicata Blazing Star/Gayfeather 

  4  Yucca glauca/Blue soapweed 

14  Echinacea purpurea/Purple coneflower

We gladly accept donations, so if you have one (or more) that you wouldn’t mind parting with,

As Deb recommends: “It’s a great reason to get out in the yard and thin out those overgrown flower beds
 and get rid of those “mistakes”, like the three yucca plants that I’m overjoyed to find a new home for! 
And, for those of you with “green thumbs”, all help is welcome in planting the islands.
