The Wesleyan Woods Garden Club heads the annual effort in a section of Macon known for its early involvement in planting cherry trees. In 1973, an estimated 500 trees were planted in the neighborhood on a single day. We want every neighborhood in Macon to get involved. In Wesleyan Woods they take the decorating a step further. But plenty of Macon residents spice up their yards and doorways with pink props.
Wreaths are a specialty.
Betty A. Osborn of Forest Hill Road hangs one by her apartment door. Sprigs of silk cherry blossoms trail up the right side, and at its crown sits a pink bird. It means spring's not far away when that wreath goes up. In the Barrington Hall subdivision off Zebulon Road, members of the neighborhood's garden club have gone all out this year. They've decorated not just doors and mailboxes, but left the entrance drive to the neighborhood adorned in pink.
