For a least a couple of years, plant enthusiast and past president of the Monticello Lions Club, Linn Lederman, has been prodding the members of the Lions Club to create a landscaped area on the south side of the Main Street bridge. His motivation was to enhance the entrance into downtown Monticello. Early this year Linn corroborated with Lions Secretary, Mike Davis, another plant enthusiast and Master Gardener to develop a plan of action.
