About the Yews

As predicted, the Yews in front of City Hall are growing back after a drastic pruning about two years ago. They were slated for removal, but commissioners of several city groups urged officials to spare them.

Under the direction of former Public Works & Urban Development Director Eric Jackson and Public Works Superintendent John Louise, the grounds were redesigned with plantings of roses and coreopsis for visual interest while the Yews grew back.

Some of the Yews were cut way back and do not look viable. Maybe they can be replaced somehow.

I for one am looking forward to seeing the City Hall roses and other flowers start growing for spring and summer.
