Description
The house and garden area were donated to the City of Eugene in 1951 by George F. Owen, a former city council member. This became the first section of property open to the public on the banks of the Willamette, now the location of an extensive park system connected by the South Bank Trail.
There are over 400 modern, hybrid, and heritage rose cultivars here as well as a state heritage cherry tree.
