The south end of Central Park Gardens was originally developed as a rose garden.  In response to strong visitor interest, we plan to enhance the plantings in this area with flowers that attract hummingbirds and butterflies.  Our vision for this area is to develop it as a vibrant and colorful flower garden buzzing with life.  A mixture of colorful flowering perennials and shrubs and fragrant roses will draw visitors and wildlife into the gardens.  Click here to download an inventory list of plants in the garden from October 2007.

Rose and Flower Garden - New Plantings
The garden was enhanced this spring with new plantings and a new redwood fence.  The center of the garden space will soon be occupied by our new sculpture created by artist Mark Rivera.  This photo was taken shortly after the spring planting.	A vibrant display of spring flowers truly reflect the red and pink theme throughout the garden.
