Garden to be planted near Sept. 11 memorial site
MARTINEZ, Calif. – The Martinez Parks Department is working on a new garden near the 9/11 memorial site in downtown Martinez.
The site, located near 603 Marina Vista Ave., has undergone the removal of three trees that have made way for 45 rose bushes.
The enhancement will include a grand entrance arbor donated by Furbur Saw (895 Howe Road, #B, Martinez).
The once plain grass parkway will now bloom with colorful roses to enhance the backdrop of the nearby 9/11 memorial, made up of a flagpole and steel girder pieces from the World Trade Center.
Residents may come and visit the garden day or night, but are asked to leave it as-is. The City will maintain the rose bushes.
