FROM ADA ICON - How does your garden grow?

A garden in Ada this summer puts on a one-of-a-kind show this month. It’s in the historic Ada railroad depot park on Main Street.

Certainly worth a trip to Ada, despite that it lacks silver bells, cockleshells and pretty maids all in a row. The flowers in bloom are inspiring. You'll find daylillies, rudbeckia, hydrangea, vinca, blue-eyed Mary, coneflowers, celosia, a red hibiscus and several unidentified beauties.

The park has picnic tables and if you are a railroad fan, there’s a restored Pennsylvania Railroad caboose and a resorted passenger station.

Attached are 13 of the sample blooms you will see.
