Planting Day at the Meredith Veterans Memorial - June 2024

     One of the final major steps to completing the Meredith Veterans Memorial was to place 285 plants, which Tim Bergquist imaginatively laid out.  Four teams of 4 people each took a planting section and dug in the earth, carefully placing each plant in keeping with a beautiful, symmetrical design.

Everyone had a green thumb and worked very diligently

There is lots of digging, and no time to rest ! But smiles on every face.
After a hole is dug, the plant goes in a proper depth. Dirt is packed around the roots and mulched - 285 times!
The view from the street is breathtaking.
There were several plant types, each with a special way of carful placement.
 

The honor is all ours.
 
To the brave men and women who gave their lives to defend freedom and a secure future for all of us.
