A work break in the English Garden
The rose garden
There's always brush to clear
Post holes for the parking fence
Our water garden
Bluebonnets, of course!
This park, once overgrown with weeds and littered with trash, is now a lovely park where the local citizens can learn and enjoy. Community groups, along with and under the direction of the Kleberg County Master Gardeners, have accomplished much in the park, but there is yet much work to be done. It is an on-going community project. Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Boys and Girls Club members, Garden clubs, Navy volunteers, and local school districts all join in the beautification of this acreage. Monies used in park projects have been from contributions or raised by sales of vegetables and plants. In 2001, an Outstanding Achievement award was given to the Kenedy Park project at the Texas Master Gardener Conference.
The park is home to a butterfly garden, an English garden, a rose garden, a Chinese serenity garden, an herb garden, a succulent garden, and a water garden. There are birdhouses, wildflowers, and flowering vines. You can even adopt a raised bed for planting your own vegetables!
Please stop by the park, take a walking tour pamphlet, and discover the variety of plants that thrive in the Coastal Bend area. Master Gardeners are usually in the park early each Saturday morning to answer any questions you may have.
