Barrie Memorial Garden

Millennium Memorial Garden, Southshore Centre, Barrie

This garden of hardy Canadian Roses was established in 2000 and is maintained by volunteers of the Huronia Rose Society. In 2003 a low wall of Owen Sound rock was created with help from the City of Barrie.In the Summer of 2006 a dispay case was placed in front of the roses with a garden guide identiying each of the kinds of roses in the garden.It has a shelf underneath the case where the society book marks are available to the public. These book marks give the current year's society information, i.e. meeting and Rose Show dates, roses for sale at Farmers' Market, society contacts.
