MARYSVILLE, Calif. (KTXL) — A plot of land that’s been an eyesore for almost 18 months has been reworked right into a flower backyard.
The picturesque web site is nestled close to the Yuba River in Marysville.
“I simply suppose it’s lovely. I believe it’s a vibrant spot,” Yuba Metropolis resident Heidi Walker informed FOX40.
The brilliant and exquisite web site is attracting folks from throughout.
Kia Lee and her household travelled from Sacramento to absorb the surroundings and do a photograph shoot.
“I do know it’s sort of small, but it surely’s lovely,” Lee stated.
The flower backyard is a welcomed web site particularly due to what occurred there greater than a 12 months in the past.
The burnt particles of the previous Hollywood trailer park was what was left behind after a big hearth got here by and decimated the huge homeless camp in October of 2020.
Russ Brown with Yuba County informed FOX40 town of Marysville, the hearth division, the county, the water company and different neighborhood organizations got here collectively to show the previous camp right into a blossoming web site.
“An enormous cleanup took loads out of there, it value tens of 1000’s of {dollars} to scrub up,” Brown defined. “A corporation known as SayLove was in there they usually got here in final 12 months and cleaned up, and right this moment the flowers are there, planted, and it’s actually fairly lovely.”
“I admire that they did this, I believe it brightens every part up and sort of reveals a rebirth so to talk,” Heidi Walker stated.
“Marysville, they’ve struggled for years making an attempt to get issues, let’s consider, higher than it’s. It is a good signal,” stated Yuba Metropolis resident Troy Walker.
Brown stated the neighborhood is constant to work to get the unhoused inhabitants into reasonably priced housing and that they’re extra outfitted to try this now than in previous years.
In addition they encourage folks to return out to the positioning and take some pictures.
