Garden greeting
Published July 28, 2009 / by Steve Berentson
It’s been upstaged in recent weeks by the city’s “roundabout” project, but this Commercial Avenue garden is looking fantastic these days. The garden, planted and maintained by Simply Yards, is located on the west side of the new roundabout, a bright “greeting” to guests coming to and from our fair city.
About Steve Berentson
A fourth generation Skagit County native who was moved kicking and screaming from this island community in 1960. I finally reclaimed an Anacortes address in 1980, and I have been in constant celebration of my return since that time. Many of us who call Anacortes home love Fidalgo Island for its natural assets: among them are rugged beaches, pristine lakes, thousands of acres of forestland and some awesome views of the Skagit Valley and surrounding islands. Another element of my love affair with this community is its people, both natives and immigrants. They will “star” in many of my journal entries.
