Close up of some of the many flowers blooming in Alumni Park this year.

Fillmore Civic Pride presented FHS Alumni Park the March 2021 "Yard of the Month." They received a $40 gift certificate from sponsors Otto & Sons Nursery located at 1835 Guiberson Rd. in Fillmore.

“Alumni Park is a gathering place for Fillmore High School Alumni," Mark Ortega, the president of the FHS Alumni, said. It is located at 559 Sespe Ave. right next door to the FHS Alumni office.

According to Mark, currently featured in the garden are tall flowering stocks of delphiniums, fox gloves, Hollyhocks, and others. "All the daffodils were planted between Thanksgiving and Christmas of last year. They are all blooming at this time along with the other plants and flowers," he said. The entrance to the garden features a cute, white picket door.

"We encourage the communities of Fillmore, Piru, Rancho Sespe, Bardsdale and especially our alumni to open our gates and come in and take photos. Alumni Park was created by our Fillmore High Alumni, for our Fillmore High Alumni. However, we hope all those who live in our beautiful surroundings can stop by enjoy the beautiful flowers and plants. Thank you again for awarding us Yard of the Month! We are honored," Mark said.
