Oh mournful season that delights the eyes, Your farewell beauty captivates the spirit, The pomp of Nature’s fading dyes, The forests garmented in gold, The rush of noisy wind and the pale skies, The early frost and the threats of grizzled Winter, Heard and lost.
~ Alexander Puskin, from Autumn ~
One man’s vision
In 1913, William Reader had a vision which transformed the city landscape into a garden oasis. By 1943, over 4500 plant varieties had been lovingly cultivated in the three acres of land adjacent to Union Cemetary.
Today, the rehabilitation and progress of the Reader Rock Garden continues as we strive to maintain Reader’s vision.
