- Blooms for a greener tomorrow
The DeKalb Meadow Project
Flowers are Blooming Across DeKalb County
DeKalb County spends thousands of dollars every year to mow and blow our landscapes. When Commissioner Terry took office in 2021, he immediately began to work on creative solutions that beautify DeKalb’s landscapes while also healing our soils and decreasing fossil fuel and chemical usage. In 2023, Commissioner Terry championed the effort for a “Wildflower and Beautification Fund” and in 2024 we are seeing over 100,000 square feet of wildflower meadows bloom.
