#ICYMI Mayor @SteveBenjaminSC , Councilman @HowardDuvall and city representatives planted wildflower seeds at the intersection of Main Street and Elmwood Avenue.

The seeds are for dwarf sunflowers and zinnias and can be seen in the upcoming months.

I wrote a cover story last year on @CityofColumbia Manager Teresa Wilson and her guidance of the city through crisis. I've learned it garnered me a First Place in Profile Feature Writing in the annual @SCPressAssoc awards.
