A bed of volunteers for the Railroad Park

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, June 4, 2014

MORE PHOTOS AT THE BOTTOM OF STORY

The Ada Historic Depot Railroad Park had a few extra hands providing TLC in late May.

The park is cared for by a combination of volunteer and Village work, though the early growing months usually require more work to get the beds cleaned out, the perennials tended and thinned, and mulch spread in each of the flower beds.

Once again this year, the park received extra help from the Ada Elementary 6th graders and six Ada graduating seniors.
