This is a busy time of year for Communities in Bloom. The group in Waseca are planting Oakanese Poplar and Swedish Aspen, two fast growing trees. The Swedish Aspen will be planted in Snell Park to replace some trees as well as new planting. The Oakanese Poplar are being planted along the walking trail. Oakanese Poplar are a drought resistant, fast growing poplar released by the PFRA in Indian Head just a few years ago. Plaques are now ready to be installed in Snell Park.
