Flowers of Tower Grove Park
A garden is a friend you can visit anytime, and Tower Grove Park is such a friend. After all the root word to our particular landscape style, gardenesque is garden.
In the garden we find flowers and flowers can define borders, lighten dark corners, soften landscapes, and refresh the spirit and senses of visitors.
Tower Grove Park represents the preservation of the Victorian urban park. This could not be accomplished without the use of annual floral displays. These flowers bring form and texture to the seasons. Their colors and fragrance supply the senses with relaxation and imagination. All of which aid in the refreshment of ones spirit.
We should thank Mr. Gurney for influencing his good friend, Mr. Shaw, in providing beautiful floral displays for passers-by and Park visitors. It was James Gurney, Sr. who first suggested the entryways to the Park display floral arrangements. Both for the Park visitor and the bustling community in the city streets.
Flowers at the entry gates of the Park harkens the would be visitor to venture onward and see what lies beyond. These displays can provide visual stimuli at 30 mphs for the community outside the casual confines of the Park.
Flowers can peek interest for many months in the Park. Late winter and spring provide an every increasing bulb display. While in the summer months, the multitude of annual displays are sure to please.
Tower Grove Park propagates and cultivates almost the entire season’s collection in the greenhouse. Some 20000 plants are used to fill our beds and urns. The flowers of Tower Grove Park are a mixture of old favorites and the exotic. Bright colors and foliar textures are represented in the display beds.
Picture perfect flowers. Many wedding parties and family photos are taken in Tower Grove Park with the flowers as background.
