25th Anniversary Garden
In honor of the 25th year, a new garden was added next to the Clock garden (in the new parking lot). The design includes a brick paver walkway with four sections for flower planting. The first planting was 78 mums which when removed will be replaced with hundreds of tulip bulbs. For the spring/summer, annuals will be planted.
