So proud of Walt! 💙 If you are interested in sponsoring a planter, reach out to Main Street Greenville!

A special thank you to the Delta Democrat-Times for sponsoring a downtown planter and supporting Walt Milam’s Eagle Scout project! 🌿💚

The new planters along Washington Avenue were completed with funding from Main Street Greenville and the Mississippi Main Street Association, and community sponsors are helping us take the next step by covering the cost of the plants and materials.

A $250 sponsorship covers the plant materials for one planter, and each sponsor will be recognized with a marker at their sponsored location.

We’re also proud of Walt for the work he has put into this project. Washington Avenue is looking better than ever! 👏

I don’t know about ya’ll but I teared up a bit when I saw our two week forecast 🥵. Two weeks of 100° temps and no rain in sight is just so frustrating! My large pots were showing strain under these temps so I decided to pull out those plants and replace them with dwarf Hameln grass to get us through the rest of the fall. Once temps cool off, I’ll add some cascading pansies to go around it. Until then, we are in survival mode 😩.

After a summer of full plants, I am loving the simplicity of these grasses and how graceful they are in the breeze.

Coleus comes in some of the most vibrant colors and is a wonderful addition to your containers or landscape. There are sun and shade varieties. Did you know that when you let it bloom, the leaves will lose their vibrancy because their energy now goes into producing the blooms. I personally like both options and so I will have a mix all season long. But there is a big difference in each plant. Love the vibrant leaves? Make sure you prune back any stems that look to be budding flowers. Love the blooms? Let the plant keep growing.
