Hello Anderson Mill!
Halloween’s cobwebs are barely down, and the candy stash is already dwindling—which can only mean one thing: Thanksgiving is on the way! As we trade costumes for casseroles and pumpkins for pies, it’s time to slow down, count our blessings, and gear up for a cozy season of gratitude, good food, and neighborhood togetherness.
Here is what’s happening in the neighborhood:
🌸 Wildflower Patches 🌻
Have you seen the new wildflower signs near Harper Park and El Salido Walking Trail? Thank the AMLD Parks and Landscaping Committee, led by Mike Chaney and Nikki Hinkle! Jon Wagner and his family helped install the first patches. Wildflower fields take several years to establish, so expect modest results this spring. A total of 6 patches will be created in the coming weeks. If you are interested in helping email greenspaces@andersonmillna.org.
