A local garden club is making sure Friendship Alley lives up to its name through vibrant flowers and whimsical bicycle accents.
The Let’s Grow Garden Club worked Wednesday to rotate a variety of summer plantings into Friendship Alley, a brick-lined alley in the 400 block of Washington Street between Fourth and Fifth streets in downtown Columbus.
At the end of the day, the flower beds along the south wall of the alley were filled with large red begonias, purple clematis and yellow marigolds which will fill in as the growing season progresses, and surrounding colorful bike wheels scattered throughout the flower beds.
The club took over the alley’s landscaping two years ago when the club made beautifying the space a personal project, said Carolyn Trueblood, former club president. Miller, Carol Evans and Sharon Larson are the committee members organizing the planting for this season.
