Planter Day

Many thanks to the 15 volunteers who joined our Design Committee for Planter Day.  This team of green thumb enthusiasts planted 65 planters with 808 plants in under 3 hours on one of our warmest days so far this year. 

High fives to our friends at Ranch and Home for providing planting soil and to The City of Ellensburg for providing the plants and water to keep them beautiful! Enjoy!
