Downtown Waynesville is looking a bit brighter this week, thanks to a group of dedicated community members who took to the streets with shovels, flower flats, and a shared pride in their town.
Led by Downtown Waynesville Association (DWA) Board Chair Teresa Pennington, the initiative relied on Drake’s Landscaping as the main volunteer force, with crew members donating their time and labor to revitalize several spots across the downtown corridor.
The team planted fresh flower beds, trimmed back overgrown weeds, and cleaned up deteriorating sidewalk patches to make the area more welcoming for pedestrians.
When Pennington noticed municipal maintenance falling behind on routine upkeep, she saw an opportunity for the community to rally together.
