From Jill DeBolt, Mentelle Median Committee chair:
Thank you to all those who came out last Saturday to work on the Mentelle median. We put in a total of 36 work hours weeding and edging the beds and removing some invasive plants.
This Saturday from 9 a.m. until noon, we need help spreading mulch to keep the weeds down and the beds looking good. Any and all help is greatly appreciated, even if you can only help for a short time.
Please email Jill DeBolt if you have any questions or concerns.
Efforts to improve the appearance of the Mentelle Park median — a city park where we have many of our neighborhood activities — aren’t new. In fact, they have been going on for more than a century. The widow of bourbon distiller James E. Pepper, who lived at 9 Mentelle Park, organized this effort, which was mentioned in the July 30, 1910 issue of the Lexington Leader.
