Thirteen garden areas on public property showcase city efforts led by Melton and Johnson with praise for Mrs. John Collier of the Garden Clubs federation.

Decatur Beautification Efforts Showcase City Garden Plan

City efforts coordinated by the parks department and Decatur Nursery fostered widespread beautification through donated funds from garden clubs. Plants such as cushion mums and marigolds brighten locations across Decatur, though vandalism recently damaged a central rock replaced in cement to deter further harm.
