Rest Stop Plants

The rest stops along the interstates are the quickest ‘stop’ along the way and definitely add to the comfort of road trips. The rest stops have improved over the years. They are clean (usually cleaner than fast food restaurants or truck stops) and designed for smooth traffic flow - often separating cars from the truck traffic.

This year I’ve appreciated the plantings. On our fall foliage trip, the rest stop in Pennsylvania featured angel’s trumpets and sunflowers.

So - thank you to the people that make the decision to keep keeping those rest stops opened and in good working order…and making them beautiful too.
