Last week we installed a new perennial garden at the Northfield Hospital outside of the long term care unit. Ron and Nancy Pieri of Northfield had it installed in memory of Nancy’s parents, Elvin & Dorie Oveson. They loved flowers and we definitely planted flowers. There are drifts of Purple Coneflower, Shasta Daisy, Goldsturm Rudebekia, Sedums, Russian Sage, and the list goes on. Nancy will be planting tulip and daffodil bulbs this fall. In memory of Leif’s parents, Loring & Suzanne Knecht, we donated and planted in the middle of the bed, a Dakota Pinacle Birch.
Pictured above are Ron and Nancy Pieri, Leif Knecht, and our landscaping crew – Jim Westlund, Derek Chicos and Jacob Kohn. If you are at the hospital, walk into the courtyard of the long term care unit and take a look. It is a beautiful addition to a beautiful space! Thank you to Ron and Nancy Pieri!
