Planter boxes were placed on the library grounds where youth could grow vegetables and <br /> other plants which could then be harvested and donated to the local food shelves. <br /> Landscaping and interpretive signage was installed around the windmill sculpture to enhance the <br /> aesthetics of the windmill and provide information as to the artistic display piece. Plant material <br /> selected for the site was designed to provide color throughout the growing season as well as to <br /> provide habitat for pollinator species. <br /> Financial Impact <br /> N/A <br /> Attachments <br /> IPOAUWERED PEBY <br />
