A sponsored median strip garden

Around our "borrowed" neighborhood in Vancouver, there are a number of sponsored median strips and traffic island plantings. I've already posted about a couple of sidewalk plantings, but these, as part of a community program, are worth showing, too.

This one, in early fall exuberance (and senscence) was charming, at least to me.

There were others available, presumably due to someone moving. This one had been well-tended.

I totally love this concept -- it transforms our towns and cities as we help create gardens where there was only a scruffy patch of lawn before!
