Leslie Greene's creation in the new park on the square
Fountains, walk ways, benches and as much flora and fauna as Alabama has to offer is now on display at the town square. Most of the town celebrated with Major John Greene and his lovely wife, Leslie Ann, for a ribbon cutting that marked the opening of the new park. The Greenes spent six months turning what was a patch of red Alabama clay into a garden fit for a king.
"We are just so proud to be able to give this to our friends here in Sweet Gypsy," said Leslie Ann, landscaper and owner of Greene Thumb Nursery.
"This project is the culmination of our community coming together to make Sweet Gypsy a better place," said John. "It perfectly compliments the major overhaul of buildings and businesses here in town."
The mayor's overhaul project is five years in the making and has brought several new businesses to Sweet Gypsy. The resulting 125% increase in town revenue ensured John a fourth term as mayor.
"Sweet Gypsy is a completely different place than it was years ago," said Glenda Richardson, owner of Glenda's Glass. "The economy is booming. The schools were renovated and upgraded giving our kids a quality education because of the mayor's plan. And with this renovation, we have a nice place to walk and sit and show off."
"It's such the cherry on top for making our town a wonderful place to live and work," said Leslie Ann.
