Join us for a walk through the garden, passing by over 100 rose varieties and 2,000 bushes, including grandiflora, shrub, floribunda and hybrid tea roses in a myriad of hues.
As you tour the garden, we would like to mention the construction of the pergola in 2017, the planting of the shade perennial hillside garden and the redesign of the Wright Ave main entrance into the park in 2024.
Other features in the garden include the entry staircase and gatehouse completed in 2009, the spectacular fountain constructed in the spring of 2011, the spring pond in the northwest corner of the garden, rebuilt in the summer of 2008, and the Lower Pond, constructed in 2014, complete with a waterfall, gorgeously landscaped banks, and lovely seating areas.
