Evergreen cemetery adds benches, trees

Evergreen Cemetery-

Thanks to a generous grant from Horizon Bank, Superior's Evergreen Cemetery west section features several new enhancements.

The north boundary windbreak of lilac bushes had become derelict. The bushes were removed. They were replaced with 55 trees and plants. The trees include flowering crab apple among others. All the trees which were planted bloom at different times from spring onward. Plants were also included in the planting. They are perennials and have a lengthy flowering period. A drip irrigation system was installed to mitigate moisture issues during periods of drought.

The grant allowed the Superior Parks Department to purchase four benches. They are located by the veterans memorials at the center of the cemetery. New trash receptacles were also purchased and placed around the cemetery grounds.
