Mary Jensen and Jane Larson, judges of the annual Polson in Bloom contest and members of the Polson Beautification Committee of the Greater Polson Foundation, recently announced their selections as the most beautiful gardens in the Polson area.
For Businesses, they chose Oak’s Korean Kitchen at 50486 Hwy. 93 for first place. Second-place winner is Whitefish Credit Union at 110 3rd Ave E. and third-place winner is Glacier Bank Drive-Up at 402 Main.
For Private Residences, Julia Bagnell and Patricia Luetzen at 103 Yellowstone Court were selected for first place. Stephenie Clement at 202 3rd Ave. E. was selected for second and third place went to Sandy and Fred Funke at 116 12th Ave. W.
Special recognition went to Cindy Jobe at 102 5th Ave. W. for her lovely gardens.
Judges recognized and appreciated the downtown area with its hanging baskets, bump-outs and businesses’ landscaping. Nearly 100 hanging flower baskets adorn Main Street and side streets, made possible through donations from businesses and many interested people.
The Greater Polson Foundation collects donations and arranges for watering once a day (twice in extremely hot weather). The intersection bump-outs are maintained by diligent volunteers and the bump-outs are watered weekly along with the baskets. The water is provided by the city.
Tax deductible donations to help with this community-wide project may be made to the Greater Polson Foundation by calling 406-883-4723 or sending donations to GPCF at P.O. Box 314, Polson, 59860.
The GPCF Beautification Committee – Mary Jensen, Jane Larson and Agnes Rinehart – expressed their appreciation to those who participated in the Polson in Bloom Contest this year and in the past, and note that floral displays “help to announce that Polson is a caring, thoughtful community.”
