Roundabout Construction

When the Meredith roundabout was constructed a few years ago, the center infield was planted by the NH-DOT with plants that were picked because they were low-water, low maintenance type perennials, and while they were okay looking, they were not the best looking plants. Starting this past spring of 2012, some local Meredith community groups showed up on court and took a swing at improving the Meredith roundabout-circle garden. Three cheers for their new garden and all the good growing results it has made in its' first year of garden life. With no garden hose water faucet available in the circle spot, a plastic water tank was tucked away in the middle for a watering source, and one fast look at the new garden as you drive around let's you know that it's all been a great big growing success.

What's to be with the new Laconia, Weirs Beach, roundabout-center garden? Only time will tell for next year, 2013, as it is currently a roundabout construction project and the growing season will soon be done for this year. Without a doubt, somewhere in Laconia, there's probably someone with a sharp pencil who has already got plans for the new Weirs Beach roundabout garden ..... so three cheers for the new Weirs Beach roundabout and its' center garden!
