Purpose
The purpose is to give the public ideas of ways they can create a garden that involves all of our senses in its design. This bed can have changing plantings that provide new and exciting plant displays. This area is grounded with a sandstone bench and large dogwood tree along with a magnolia and beautiful stone urn that changes with the seasons.
History of Committee
This bed was installed in 2015 and dedicated to Bill Rice who was our retiring ANR from Purdue University. A plaque is in the garden to commemorate his years of service. Located on the Fairgrounds by the silo area on the northwest side of the exhibition hall, volunteers are needed to take a week or two to tend this heavily viewed bed. Regular watering and weeding is needed in this small bed. With the changing of seasons we need to plant new arrangements in the urn.
