Brooksville aims to save about $10,000 in landscaping costs through a new partnership with Wal-Mart.
Currently, the retail store throws away its unsellable flowers after about a week. Also discarded are ripped bags of mulch and fertilizer.
Under a new agreement though, the city will get those wilted flowers for free. The plants will be distributed in all the places normally perked up with a spot of landscaping, including medians.
Jeanne Griffin Moore, the city's management analyst, said the city's expenditures on landscaping, about $10,000, are a common complaint. This deal changes that.
"That's not your tax dollars now," she said.
