MIDTOWN GREEN IS GETTING MORE BEAUTIFUL ADDITIONS!!!! THE OUTDOOR STAGE IS COMING OUT OF THE GROUND!!!

Good Info!❤️❤️😄

140 years ago today, on March 11, 1884, the City of Hattiesburg was incorporated through legislative act. Though the city was originally founded in 1882, it took a bill filed by State Representative J.W. Denham to make it an official municipality.

The corporate officers were established as one mayor, four aldermen and one marshal. The population was about 350-400 persons with about 54 being registered voters.

O.H.P. Jones was later appointed Mayor, the first of 35 mayors to have served the city.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Hattiesburg flourished as a hub for the timber industry, with sawmills and lumber yards dominating the landscape. The city's economy diversified with the establishment of textile mills, contributing to its reputation as a thriving industrial center in Mississippi.

Happy Incorporation Day!

The USDA has just released a new Plant Hardiness Zone Map, the first new version since 2012. The map is based on 30-year averages (1991 to 2020) for the lowest annual winter temperatures. The new data, along with the addition of more temperature stations and better mapping techniques, shifted about half the country into a warmer half-zone (such as Zone 6a to 6b). Find your current zone by entering your ZIP code on the map at this link: https://planthardiness.ars.usda.gov/

Lots of folks ask me about Dogwoods!!!!

Mississippi has quite an extensive list of native oak trees! With 34 different species found in the state, you may wonder how to tell which is which. Although there are many ways you can identify each oak, the trees’ acorns are a great indication of species.

By looking at the acorn’s shape, color, and size, you’ll be able to identify which oak species it came from.🌳

Here are five of the most common oak trees found in Mississippi and how to identify the species using its acorns:

➡️Live oak – Live oak acorns resemble the shape of a football and are ¾ to 1 inch long. Live oak acorns are generally a dark, reddish-brown color with caps that cover one-fourth of the acorn.

➡️Shumard oak – Shumard oaks produce large, egg-shaped acorns, typically 1 ¼ inches long and 1 inch wide.

➡️Southern red oak – Southern red oaks have small acorns, typically a ½ inch long. They are normally an orangish-brown color with a small cap that covers about a third of the acorn.

➡️Water oak – Water oaks have saucer-shaped acorns that are around a ½ inch long. These acorns come in a variety of colors -- anywhere from light brown to black. They have a thin shoot at the bottom of the acorn that’s easy to identify.

➡️White oak – Acorns of white oaks are oblong shaped and around 1 ¼ inches long. They are typically light brown and have a thick warty, bowl-shaped cap.

As you get outdoors this fall, pay close attention to the acorns on the ground and test your knowledge!

Great project we had a small part in designing!!!!

USM School of Criminal Justice, Forensic Science and Security Slated for New Home on Hattiesburg Campus Faculty, staff and students in the School of Criminal Justice, Forensic Science and Security at The University of Southern Mississippi (USM) can point to a bright future that includes a spacious new home on the Hattiesburg campus.

The American Society of Landscape Architects estimates professional landscaping can increase a home’s price tag 15 percent to 20 percent more at the time of resale.

Beautiful! In the heat! Ya’ll!!!
