Aledo City Hall and Community Center

The Aledo Community Center landscaping was started in 1997 as a 4-H project with Gay Larson as horticulture advisor.  Today, it is a Parker County Master Gardener Project and plants are added as they are received.  It is composed of donated annuals, perennials and shrubs plus a small budget.

The Aledo City Hall, which is across the street from the Community Center, is also a PCMGA project started in 1998.  There is an adequate budget for this project provided by the city of Aledo, so many beds have been planned and installed.  To date, there are 2 large berms, 3 drought tolerant beds, a rustic bridge over what is referred to as "Crawdad Creek," many new shrubs and trees, and a letter "A" planted in annuals each season by the front door.   Additionally a shade bed is in the planning stages.
