Spring Garden Streetscape

[Empire]

The irony is, the planters were meant to beautify the streetscape but being exposed concrete they do just the opposite IMO. I see this as a significant lost opportunity for HRM to get it right. I somehow envision the planter as a receptacle for marigolds in desperate need of water with a leaning maple tree requiring pruning, complete with the plastic species tag still affixed to a branch with no leaves. Perhaps we will be surprised to find trees that flower in the spring such as cherry or dogwood.....
