McDonald’s Named Central Bloomers Landscaping of the Month

 Submitted by Bren Truett

            McDonald's on Hooper Road definitely has the “wow” factor the Central Bloomers Garden Club is looking for in “curb appeal” plantings.  The “backbone” plants are beautiful in their own right; heavily blooming crape myrtles, lush grasses, must-have cypress trees, stately sago palms and manicured Indian Hawthornes.  To these add a layer of multi-colored daylilies, gardenias with their heavenly scent and the thick green leaves of crinum lilies.  Vibrant reds and yellows of the caladiums,hibiscus and rudbeckia are complimented by the shades of lavender in the ruella, vinca and penta.  Watch it closely, as the landscaping is continually changing with the seasons.  The Central Bloomers Garden Club beautification committee is proud to present the Jackie Brewer Memorial to the McDonald's on Hooper Road, as this month's “featured landscape.”        Special note:  This presentation is our sixth in the City of Central.  We are proud of our past recipients and their continuing effort to help Central “grow beautifully.” As a business establishment, please consider your own “curb appeal,” your visitors DO notice.  Coming soon will be a pilot program introduced to further enhance our city.  Keep watching for future developments!
