The Fort Davis Garden Club adopted this entrance to Washington, beautifying with flowers and landscaping, and a "Welcome to Washington" sign. Later, the Department of Public Works gave a helping hand, planting additional shrubs. The Fort Davis Garden Club is under the leadership of Lillian Chatmon, Elsie Frazier, Henrietta Wright, and Mildred Adams. With the help of Councilmember David Catania, the Welcome sign with blue background and cherry blossoms was restored in March, 2000.
