Fresh, new stocks of chrysanthemums line several of the streets in Downtown Milwaukee. All, especially the ones on Wisconsin Avenue, are a welcome addition to the neighborhood.
Planted in the past several days by KEI Landscaping, the vibrant flowers are a part of a ramped up beautification program from Milwaukee Downtown (BID #21) and the City.
Milwaukee is lucky to groups that plant fresh, vibrant flowers and beautiful shrubs and that work hard to keep them healthy throughout the spring, summer and fall.
Take a walk today or tonight, and stop to smell the mums.
