One resident and tree donor <br /> said, "I am delighted with the whole way the Hays Memorial Tree Garden has developed. It looks very attractive and is a <br /> real plus for the Eugene landscape." <br /> Located immediately north of Cuthbert Amphitheater in Alton Baker Park, the garden was created to showcase a wide <br /> variety of trees that grow in this climate zone and offer residents the opportunity to honor a loved one, commemorate a <br /> iecial event or to simply improve the natural environment and community. Over the past three years, 26 trees have <br /> `•Teen planted and memorial plaques placed throughout the garden.
