The installation of the Flower Garden was started on May 18, 2009.
It was a crazy idea, but a crazy idea born out of desperation to do something about our aging, crumbling, eyesore of a former hotel, former hardware store building.
Ivan Potter - rural Renaissance man did the artwork and wrote this poem upon its completion.
On the rural frontier
When buildings fail
Or grow tired,
When bankers won’t lend
And insurance companies
Desert you,
