POLSON — On July 13th, Mary Jensen and Jane Larson, judges and members of the Polson Beautification Committee of the Greater Polson Foundation, selected the most beautiful gardens in the Polson area.
For Businesses, they selected Oak’s Korean Kitchen at 50486 US HWY 93 for first place. Second place winner is Whitefish Credit Union at 110 3rd Ave E. Third place winner is Glacier Bank Drive-Up at 402 Main.
For Private Residences, Julia Bagnell and Patricia Luetzen at 103 Yellowstone Court were selected for 1st place. Stephenie Clement at 202 3rd Ave E was selected for 2nd place. 3rd place went to Sandy and Fred Funke at 116 12th Ave W.
Special recognition went to Cindy Jobe at 102 5th Ave W for her lovely gardens.
Judges recognized and appreciated the downtown area with its hanging baskets, bump-outs and business’ landscaping. Nearly 100 hanging flower baskets that adorn the streets downtown are made possible through donations from businesses and many interested people. This year the city no longer had staffing to water the baskets. Greater Polson Foundation now collects donations and arranges for watering once a day (twice in extremely hot weather). The intersection bump-outs are maintained by diligent volunteers and the bump-outs are watered weekly along with the baskets. The water is provided by the city. Floral displays help to announce that Polson is a caring, thoughtful community. Tax deductible donations to help with this community wide project can be made to the Greater Polson Foundation at 406 883 4723 or send donations to GPCF at PO Box 314, Polson, 59860.
Mary Jensen, Jane Larson and Agnes Rinehart wish to thank those who participated in the Polson in Bloom Contest this year and in the past many years.
