Memorial Rose Garden Honors Loved Ones In A Fresh New Way
The Memorial Rose Garden inside of Riverside Park has recently received a makeover. A renovation was given to the memorial site that now has a fresh new look. The garden transitioned from double rows of roses to single roses, which will help with keeping the plants healthy and flourishing.

The rose garden was created in 1979. In 1996 the site was officially renamed 'Memorial Rose Garden,' after the community's help and the Adopt-a Rose Program paid massive homage to loved ones.
Prior to the renovation, the rose garden featured individual dedication plaques, but many of those had become damaged or unreadable after years of exposure to natural elements. Now, two plaques are honoring 1,400 loved ones.
