Staff and volunteers help plant new Blue Atlas Cedar at Torii Gate Garden
Title

Torii Gate Garden Restoration Completed at Shoreline Park

Authored on
Body

In collaboration with neighborhood groups, Parks and Recreation staff restored elements of the garden's original Japanese design using landscaping better suited for the area's shady, low-water conditions. The project was funded by donations made to Our Mesa Neighborhood and local volunteers helped with the installation of the garden's new plants.
