Summary

Description of Topic: (who, what, where, when, why and how much)

Terry Underwood said that he had been speaking with Martin Van Der Giessen of Van Der Giessen Nursery, Inc. and Mr. Van Der Giessen said that he would be happy to donate 100 native azaleas to the City.  Mr. Underwood thought it would be a good idea to someday have a Native Azalea Trail.  He has been trying to get in touch with Leslie to see where she would like these planted as they will need to be planted among Pine trees possibly in a cluster.  Mr. Van Der Giessen requests a two week lead to get the plants ready for John Graham to pick up.  Mr. Underwood also stated that he might be able to get the FAA to plant the azaleas as a partnership event.
