| Butterfly
and Hummingbird Garden |
 The
Butterfly and Hummingbird Garden, 1,400
square feet of perennials, was begun
in 1999 as a community project involving
many volunteers. It contains flowers
that specifically attract butterflies
and hummingbirds and they can often
be found there, during the warmer months,
collecting nectar. There is a birdbath
in the middle which attracts the many
birds that frequent the park, looking
for nourishment. Planting considered
three seasons with attention to height
and color. |

| Memory
Garden |
The
Memory Garden created to give solace
to those who have lost loved ones was
designed by Sonia Tynan, a landscaper,
in 1998. When Sonia first saw the area,
it was filled with bushes and trees,
but she had a vision for it. She  saw
the low hills on two sides as an embracing
arm curling around the flat area and
felt it was a perfect place for the
garden to 'nestle inside the arm of
the hills.' Low hedges were planted
on the outside of the garden area, with
perennials inside and donated memorial
benches were placed inside the garden,
where visitors may tarry. |
