What’s Happening in Whetstone Park?

The NEW wetland area installed as part of Blueprint Columbus is shaping up -I think the contractor had noted they had some additional plants that they would install in the spring. It looks a bit sparse now, but next year it should start looking and acting more like a wetland.

Including the planting plan for the basin with the types and locations of the flowers. Also, the informational sign referenced on the plan sheet is coming, though it may not get installed until the spring.
