Bricks
The Rose Garden at Brookside Gardens has been a favorite destination of visitors since its opening in 1972. Something about the stunning beauty and seductive fragrance of roses draws visitors to this delightful garden over and over. For many, the Rose Garden holds a special meaning and memories, making it a lovely setting in which to honor a special person or to mark a memorable milestone.
Commemorative bricks are available in two sizes: 4″ x 8″ ($500) and 8″ x 8″ ($1,000). Each brick is engraved with a personal message and placed in the walkway under the wisteria arbor in the Rose Garden.
