Special to the Times Vedette

Farmers State Bank staff volunteered more than 30 combined hours on Saturday and Monday to rehabilitate the landscaping on the front side of Little Panther Daycare and Preschool in Panora. This involved removing the old landscaping and digging up plants while trenching the sump pump line. The bank covered the expenses. 

Bank employees trimmed the bushes that remained in good shape, brought in 1 ton of dirt to lay down, put down weed barrier, and applied 1 pallet (68, 3 cubic feet bags) of cedar bark mulch. They also planted eight additional perennials, which included one Gumball Goody Rose, one Cinnamon Hearts Rose, two Dragon Baby Hydrangeas and four Nightglow Diervilla.
