Rose Garden Improvements

Area residents and garden lovers concerned about maintaining and enhancing the Lyndale Park Rose Garden recently applied for and received a grant from the Lawrence Family Foundation to create a master plan for the Rose Garden.

The goal of the master plan is to restore and maintain the Garden for both current and future visitors, and to enhance the visitor experience at one of Minneapolis’ favorite park places.

The master plan was developed by Aune Fernandez Landscape Architects (who recently restored and rebuilt Thomas Lowry Park's Seven Pools fountains). It includes:

• restoration of historic garden features
• considerations for fountain repair and maintenance
• addition of environmental and sustainable garden features
• accessibility improvements for paths and seating
• dropoff point on Roseway Road to improve garden access

In response to the master plan, the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) is hosting several information sessions to share more about these potential improvements and get feedback from community members. Note: The same information will be shared at each session.
