Celebration Gardens
Celebration Gardens
Molly Stark Park is a designated Celebration Garden program site. A habitat and wildlife area features natural areas with native plants, as opposed to a traditional flower garden. The site signage signage directs visitors to this area of the website to access information about those who have contributed or being honored.
Installation of the bricks occurs twice a year, once in the springtime and once in the fall.
