There are teak benches, four new lampposts, irrigation and a granite-lined path to connect to the main Stacy Boulevard promenade.  2020 will be the first year of the garden blooming in all seasons.  Roses and tulips were also planted and dahlias will be added to the flower beds around late May each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow
