Landscaping the KCB Post Office

It's not an easy task, digging 4 holes to plant 4 palm trees down here in The Keys. They have been working on this for at least a month. A shade tarp to work in the hot sun of the day, a back hoe and loader yesterday to dig in the coral rock and haul away bits and pieces and sand. The trees are standing by ready to be placed, and an irrigation system in also ready to go, so it shouldn't be too long before I am posting the "after" shot.

Some find it curious that all this work is being done while at the same time the US Post Office has pretty much guaranteed that our post office will be closing sometime in the near future. But the city owns the building, and the planning, work, and trees have been provided by some very industrious snow birds and full time residents who have a desire to make our city offices and post office area a more beautiful place to walk in to every day.
