Pauline Wiech, and Anna Miller have been making Dwan Golf course burst with color for the past three summers. For about six months each year, they spend 15 – 20 hours a week planting more than 2,000 seedlings and countless zinnia seeds. They also split and transplant the many perennials on the course.
“We love color, so we pick flowers that are vibrant and have big, long-lasting blooms,” Wiech said. “And that are tolerant of Minnesota’s fickle weather!” Miller added.
Working with nature and adapting to its frequent changes, Anna and Pauline plant and tend more than 40 flower beds throughout the course, parking lot and club house.
Stop by Dwan Golf Course, 3301 West 110th Street, to golf a few rounds and see the wide variety of flowers on display throughout the warm season: calibrachoas, coleus, dahlias, geraniums, hibiscus, impatiens, lavender marigolds, milkweed, portulaca, snapdragons, sweet potato vine and zinnias, just to name a few. If you don’t want to golf, you can still view the flowers around the clubhouse and parking lot.
