Memorial Day

5/25/2020

Once again, the families and friends of our deceased have been sprucing up grave sites and placing flowers in remembrance of their veterans and loved ones.  Scroll down for some pictures of the beautiful work they've done. 

One note, the grass was mowed last Wednesday (5/20/20) and the cemeteries looked perfect.  By Memorial Day we had a fresh crop of dandelion flowers that had gone to seed.  After the next mowing or two, they'll barely be noticeable.  The cemeteries are mowed each Wednesday
(5/27/20 is the next mowing), so most of the seed heads will be cut down.  We do not use herbicides on the cemeteries for several reasons...  
  • Herbicide treatments for both cemeteries are expensive and the "drift" from spraying for dandelions may damage plantings and pots with flowers.
  • The tree lilacs along the east and west sidewalk in the north cemetery are sensitive to herbicides and may be damaged.
  • Scandia is a "pollenator friendly city" and we support the diversity of plants in the cemeteries that flower throughout the summer.
