'����S��b�n��f� i:.�A �"r' �tY t' ' t � ,-'a Project Description My project is to make the Swedish Monument look better for people by adding low maintenance shrubs and flowers. I will also make this a place to rest by adding two concrete benches. This will make the south entrance into Scandia more appealing to visitors and residents. The benches will enable people to gaze at the Monument for a longer time. I am doing this project because it was recommended to me by the Friends of Scandia Parks and Trails. I looked into the project and saw that it did need some work to improve the appearance so I started researching what needs to be done. Project Details • Plant 45 Stella D'oro daylilies • Place 2 yards of mulch around daylilies; use landscaping mesh to control weeds • Install heavy duty plastic edging around mulched area • Remove overgrown honeysuckle on north side • Plant low maintenance Alpine Currant on north side • Install two concrete benches* • Pour two 5"thick concrete slabs for benches • Replace rotted posts on the information sign using"treat to refusal"posts *Used benches donated by the Elim Church. Top surface will be repaired and painted.
