The Beautification Team masterminds a makeover for the Metro Pump House at the corner of Jocelyn Hollow and West Meade.

Not too long ago, Patricia Knight reached out to a fellow Master Gardener, Julie Berbiglia, who works at Metro Water, with questions about this property and the likelihood of making it a focal point of the neighborhood rather than just a plain piece of Metro property.

Julia was able to secure approval for the District 23 Beautification Team to make improvements to the property, and assigned a Metro horticulturist, Sarah Welz, to work with the District 23 Beautification Team on tree selection, placement, and other planting ideas. Wayne and Ann Underhill, Paul Prill, Andrea Pruijssers, and Patricia (all Master Gardeners), met at the property to give input and feedback on trees, plants, and ideas.
