A long and narrow garden is seen by several thousand motorists every day on State Route 81 at the intersection of Gilbert Street.
Property owners Jim and Andy Pifer place bunting on a picket fence. The white fence sets off the multicolored annuals and perennials.
The 130-foot stretch of color has brightened the neighborhood for 25 years.
Over the years, many passersby have stopped to compliment the couple on the eye-catching display. (Monty Siekerman)
