The Museum of Arts and Sciences

Macon, Georgia

10 June 2021

The Pine Ridge Garden Club observed National Garden Week 2021 with a Field Trip to the local Museum.  It was a wonderful way to experience the local attraction and also learn about some native plants and also local History.

Prior to Walking the Trails we had the Safety Lecture from the Club President.

We then walked the trails and observed some of the attractions that were focused on the Younger Visitors, but we also enjoyed them;

During the walk on the trails we also observed several Native Plants which were on display.  Additionally we saw many varieties  of ferns that flourished in the shady areas.

Mountain Mint

Passion Vine Bloom

Trillium

There were several Giant Magnolia Trees in their early states of life.

After enjoying a box lunch we decided to capture several fun pictures at the Museum Grounds!!

Trash In Macon-Bibb 

Georgia 

Today, Saturday June 5th I surveyed the Trash Services that we the Citizens currently receive in Macon- Bibb.

We must admit we have a problem.  The first step to problem resolution is to admit there is a problem versus making excuses.  

Last evening I attended the Shady Dale Rodeo in Shady Dale, Georgia.  I did not observe any trash containers on the road as I entered this community.

Maybe our duly elected leaders could emulate the Trash Service practices that the Leaders do in Shady Dale.  Just My suggestion.

My suggestion would also include modeling a Trash Pick-Up system that at least one Major Pizza Company is evaluating and even testing to deliver their product with a robot vehicle.  If a robot can deliver products it just may be possible to pick up Trash from Citizens Homes and even places of business.
