A HUGE shout-out to our 13 Adopt-A-Sign volunteers of 2024 !!!
We truly appreciate you taking the initiative and being trailblazers in our community by establishing these beautiful native plant gardens.
These gardens may be small, but they make a big impact not only by benefiting our community but also by benefiting the environment. You are making a difference and we thank you for that.
During the summer of 2024, 13 volunteers have adopted 10 road signs. Make sure to keep an eye out for these beautiful roadside gardens as you drive by.
Tom Wroblewski - Rainbow & Smith Drives, AND Norris & Smith Drives
Barb Chmielewski -County Park Lane and Q
Jodi Weinfeurter/Betsy Elgin - Round Lake and Browne Lane
Laura Reynolds - Ottman Lake/Ottman drive
Kathy Welnick -Dake Lake / Cleghorn road
Tom Kurtz - Sunset Lane/Highland lane
Barb DeYound/Karen Olsen -Miner Drive/QQ

Ann and Fred Silloway - Whispering Pines Rd and Emmons Creek
If you’re interested in adopting a road sign in your neighborhood, or even outside your neighborhood, please reach out to us HERE. We begin again in the spring 2025.
As a reminder, the Stewardship and Resources Committee will purchase the plants for you, volunteers plant and maintain the small native gardens around the road signs. You’re free to be as creative as you’d like - have fun with it.
As a bonus !! next year, we plan to present each volunteer with a plaque they can proudly display in their gardens.
Below are pictures of some of the road side gardens:
