Work begins at 8 a.m. and includes grouting the bases of the <br /> pergola, the structure that supports climbing roses; weeding the area around the paver stone <br /> pathway; and placing bricks that donors have purchased in memorial of loved ones in the <br /> pathway. <br /> This effort is part of the ongoing campaign, spearheaded by the Delta Rotarians, to <br /> enhance the garden. The group adopted the rose garden as a community service project in <br /> 1999. In partnership with the City, the group has accomplished several projects in the past <br /> couple of years including decorating the garden with trellises; creating rose bed borders; <br /> building a large pergola to adorn the walkway with climbing roses; and most recently raised the <br /> money to purchase a gazebo to be situated in the heart of the rose garden. <br /> "We are very committed to beautifying the rose garden for all the residents of Eugene to <br /> enjoy for years to come," says Paul Peschiera, member of the Eugene Delta Rotarians. <br /> For more information about this project, contact Volunteers in Parks Coordinator Chris <br /> Girard at 682-4845. To make a contribution to the garden, contact Paul Peschiera, Eugene <br /> Delta Rotarian, at 684-8454, or John Weber, parks planner, at 682-4908. <br /> ### <br />
