Bicentennial Gardens rededicated

The Richmond Lions Club, Youth Council, and City Council with help from several Scouts and the city maintenance workers did the work of digging up the old weed barrier, putting down new barrier, transplanting tulips, and putting in fresh mulch. When the danger of frost is past, a variety of perennials will be planted to provide color throughout the year.
