I think it’s safe to say that these are the first flowers the city has planted in Vick in the cemetery’s 110-year history. Thank you, Heather Goff and Cemetery Commission crew.

(Also, passersby may have noticed a dirt pile near the fence and patches of raw earth throughout the cemetery. The Commission crew is topdressing and filling in low-lying areas to improve drainage and appearance. Thanks to all keeping an eye on the land.)
