Here are some photos from this morning’s traffic-circle planting at Trinity Catholic School. This is the first of two plantings that will beautify these residential traffic-calming projects on W Montgomery.

With the help of teachers, parents and neighbors, the students planted coneflower (aka echinacea), blue fescue and some tall grasses that are also drought-resistant, so they’re as practical as they are pretty.

Similar flowers and grasses will be planted at the circle at the intersection of Madison and Montgomery — stop by tonight’s neighborhood council meeting to find out how you can volunteer to help plant.
