34 FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | AUGUST 2021
Landscape Committee
In addition to the community buildings and grounds (The Lodge,
The Summit, and The Courts), our community has spectacular
planting at the three entrances: the Potrero gate house and Four
Seasons Blvd, and the Crooked Creek and Breckenridge gates.
In addition to these large planting areas, we also have a number
of parks. The largest one is the Paseo, a block-long park in Phase A
about which Bonnie wrote a few months ago. In addition, we have
pocket parks including the ones at the end of Quiet Creek, and two
on Lucinda Terrace.
These parks are relatively well known but there is an additional
one behind the homes on White Sands, which can be reached by
following the sidewalk that starts just before the first home on the
south side of the street. This park is in one of the older areas of
the community, and the original planting, as in other older areas, is
aging out.
Accordingly, the Landscape Committee is working closely with
Park West, our landscape contractor, to renovate the area. The old
plants are removed and new ones that we believe will be more long
lasting than the ones being replaced. Here, we've planted yellow
roses and a relatively new addition to the community plant palette,
Daniella, also called flax lilies. These plants with the striking striped
leaves can also be seen in front of The Lodge, and in the grounds
behind The Lodge.
As you can see in the photographs, the work is ongoing with about
two thirds of the work completed.
We, on the Landscape Committee, are looking for new members.
We meet on the third Tuesday of the month and walk portions of
the community to preserve the beauty that we all appreciate on most
Fridays. Currently, our walks begin at 7 am. ~ Kirk Freyermuth,
