The “before” picture of the rock planter at the corner of 126 & Central.

The stucco planters along Central Avenue have begun to get a fresh “look” with the planting of new roses and Mystic Spires salvia. Members of the Civic Pride Committee, Cindy Klittich, Mark Ortega, Linda Nunes, and helpers James Nunes, Timmy Klittich, Steve McKeown, and daughter, Paige removed invasive seedlings, pruned the existing Cape Cod roses, and planted a red shrub rose named, Thrive and a ground cover rose named, White Meidiland along with Mystic Spires salvia, and Star jasmine in the planters at the corner of Sespe & Central Avenue. We will be continuing to replant the remaining stucco planters at a future date.

The rock planter at the corner of Highway 126 and Central Avenue was also replanted with an improved water delivery system. White Iceberg roses, red Thrive shrub roses, blue Mystic Spires salvia and white trailing lantana were added.
