* does not use any taxpayer dollars
* contains more than 400 varieties of roses
* is built on the site of a former landfill
* is the only public, inmate-run rose garden in the U.S.
* provides horticultural training for inmate workers
If you happen to be in the area, do stop by and check out the stunning display of roses in this garden.
