This revamp is very close to being finished.
A little background: This was Willie Headley’s garden originally, created 20+ years ago to enhance the Centennial Park sign. Appropriate that it was Willie’s garden because Centennial Park was created as a tribute to the early settlers of the Town of Black Mountain. Willie’s ancestors - the Kerlees - were early pioneers in the Valley.
And After

What has changed:
- overgrown shrubs have been removed;
- entire garden has been regraded to be more level and more visible from all sides;
- lace leaf maple tree has been transplanted and is now a backdrop for the sign;
- 5 evergreen shrubs have been added to create a year-round visual perimeter for the garden;
- 3 more small evergreen shrubs will be planted at the front right corner as soon as the ground thaws out.
- Gravel pathways have been added to keep the Centennial Park sign separate and visible as the focal point of the garden. - Special thanks to Gail and her husband John, and Jean and her husband Doug for helping us on very short notice to shovel 2 yards of gravel!
- The finishing touches of beauty will be added by Jean and Mary when they re-take their garden site this spring and add the perennials and annuals.
- Meanwhile, this winter garden at Centennial Park is attractive and full of purpose and promise.
- Jean thanked Carl & Pat, as it was a challenging site to maintain and now it is going to be easy.
