Traffic Triangle ablaze in color

From dull brown to spectacular. It seems as though it was only yesterday that we were preparing the flower beds at East Avenue and Sixth Street for winter. Spring came fast this year but with a little help from our friends at the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy and the students at Wayne Middle School the traffic triangle will once again be blooming and brightening the day for drivers passing by. May 23rd was planting day and 12 students from Wayne Middle School helped plant over 2,000 petunias and salvia. A special thanks to the City of Erie for providing a mountain of compost to help the flowers grow and the Erie Water Authority for providing a way to water the flowers during the long hot summer.

Steve and Jean Urash helped keep last years’ garden beautiful.

Wayne Middle School student gives the planting experience a big thumbs up! We do too.

It’s back breaking work to move a mountain of compost but students kept at it until the bitter end. We can’t thank them enough for all their help.
