A NOT-So Secret Garden ...

In places like Minnedosa, it is the work of voluneers that often keeps things running smoothly and helps make new things happen ... The CPR Station, The Heritage Village, Playgrounds and gardens are just some of the the things you find around town that owe thier continued existence to the tireless effort of volunteers.

One of the latest additions to the stable of volunteer created and maintained features in the town's fabric is the Ishii Garden found tucked behind the Minnedosa Library.

Created by the group who have maintained a Town twinning with a city in Japan, the traditional Shinto style garden will provide a peaceful and tranquil refuge.

With its bridges, walk ways, water fountains and a diversity of plants, the Ishii Garden will be a "must see" site in this small prairie town. With the donations and effort of dozen and dozens of volunteers the garden is slated to open in time for the Homecoming 2008 celebration when the heritage and history of Minnedosa is displayed for all to see.
