Beautification Committee makes plans, elects leaders

The

Peachtree City Beautification Committee unanimously

elected Annette Bowman and David Rast as their cochairmen

at last week's August meeting.

Bowman is a

landscape designer with Estes-Landers Landscape Design

Inc. Rast is a city planner for Peachtree City.

Committee

members also approved the expenditure of $90 for 2,000

pine seedlings for the January tree planting. The city's

recreation and public works departments will be reviewing

possible areas for planting to help reforest areas that

are currently mowed.

The

committee approved a $150 grant to master gardener Julie

Peterson for additional plantings at the Georgia Native

Plant Garden in front of the Frederick Brown Jr.

Amphitheater. Development of a master plan for

landscaping and irrigation for the entire entry to the

amphitheater was discussed.

Members

agreed that pansies should be planted in October at the

Peachtree City civic sign at the intersection of Ga.

highways 54 and 74. Possible planting materials were

discussed for the planters at the support bases of the

Hwy. 54 bicycle bridge.

The

committee also will begin working on a series of master

plans for the continuing enhancement of public lands

throughout the city.

The

Beautification Committee meets third Mondays at 6:30 p.m.

in the Peachtree City Library. Residents interested in

participating in the landscaping and beautifying of

public lands are welcome to attend.
