Project Overview:

Millennium Garden is a community social gathering area with a variety of specialty display gardens and art exhibit areas located adjacent to the city’s Community Center.  The Garden provides an aesthetic backdrop to the civic campus and is designed to accommodate varying community events, such as wedding and social ceremonies, while minimizing ongoing maintenance costs.  One way this was accomplished was by developing the majority of the gardens with indigenous plant community display areas including restored woodlands, tallgrass prairie, shortgrass prairie, etc.  The reintroduction of these native species enhances the character of the park, both aesthetically and ecologically, reduces maintenance costs, and serves as an educational tool for the community.

As visitors enter the garden space, they pass through the Donor Recognition Area which is comprised of an aquatic display pool, rose garden, and ornamental fencing, as well as specialty paver units and plaques recognizing those who contributed monetarily to the project.  The construction of this project was completed in 2003.
