Heavy rains now cause water to go over the beds and form in pools at one corner. A new system of drainage should be Installed and raised curbing put around the flower plots. This was promised by the city but so far nothing has been done and all pluntlng by the Garden Club is apf to be ruined when it is done, if the plants are put in now.
