We were very pleased with the new and improved garden at the "Flower Rock" located near the flag pole. A great deal of work was done by Kathy Burch, including the design and plantings of so many beautiful flowers. The history of that garden can be traced back to the early days of Strawberry Park, when it was known as "Edna's Flower Rock", and appeared on postcards for many years. Following that, the garden was maintained by Syl & Cindy Serra, who camped on that site for quite a long time, as both Syl and their children (Trace & Amanda) worked at the campground. Most recently, the garden was under the care of Jean Trottier while she was camping across the street on site 24. Once she & her husband Bob moved back to Mass, the garden was taken over by Kathy. This year, we are looking forward to the front gate entrance area being renovated, with a flower garden and water features, possibly even including some koi fish inhabiting the garden pond. While I am sure Kathy will be assisting, this project will be coordinated by her husband Gene. If you have not seen the garden features on sites 329C and 236, take a look the next time you are in the neighborhood. We look forward to a very attractive landscape adjacent to the front gate, and will keep you posted on the progress.
