Uptown Flower Baskets In Bloom
The photos above were taken on May 15th and May
31st. Thanks to a
careful watering schedule by city crews, the hanging baskets have
already begun bursting with color. The city purchases the baskets
from Bildsten Landscape Services, owned by Westerville residents
Mark and Karen Bildsten.
