A Creative Way To Deal With Dying Trees
Last month, Le Grand resident Linda Harvey began decorating trees around Marshalltown impacted by the July 19 tornado. Her efforts, which have captured national attention, are rooted in her desire to add joy, color and hope to neighborhoods that were hit the hardest by the devastating storm.
Harvey and a group of volunteers recently completed the first tree in the project, located near the intersection of N. 8th Ave. and E. State St., with the theme of “Feeling Blue, But Marshalltown Strong.” She then hosted a public meeting on Sept. 8, hoping to recruit folks interested in aiding in the project.
“No one showed up to the meeting,” she said. “Everybody loves the idea, but nobody thinks they’re artistic enough to help. That’s okay, because now I got it down to a science. I can do it much quicker, and Johnny is a great help.”
