Featured Manito Garden - Rose Hill

The crown jewel of Manito Park is arguably the Rose Hill Garden. Staged atop a gentle hill inside the park, the Rose Hill Garden is packed with a wide variety of roses in all colors and sizes. Grounds crews have meticulously maintained the garden all Summer and now as we begin the slide into the Autumn season, the rose garden is feeling the chill. So if you want to see hundreds of varieties of first class roses, make a point to visit the park soon.

The gentle slope of the Rose Garden is anchored by a wide trellis sitting on top a short stone wall. The trellis is adorned with climbing blossoms.

A gravel path circles the garden and provides guidance during a comfy stroll as you admire the beautiful landscape.

Large Pacific Northwest trees surround the garden and protect its contents from the wind and also make the garden a soft quiet environment.

Visit the Rose Hill Garden on top the hill at Manito Park for a pleasant leisurely stroll in the cool Autumn air.

Autumn at Manito Park

Fall is upon us so get your calendar out and set aside some time to see Manito Park in all her Autumn glory.

The season is right on schedule this year so you can expect to see all the incredible Fall colors at their peak around the second week of October. Manito will continue to be beautiful after that, but if you want to catch the Park dressed to kill in Autumn coolness, then assuredly set aside some time and get out for a brisk walk in the park. You will not go away disappointed.

A Walk In Manito Park

By: LS Tibbets

Suzanne had given her family strict instructions not to plan a party for her upcoming birthday. She was turning forty and wanted the event to pass by without fanfare, as if the day wasn’t to occur at all. Despite these insistent instructions, her husband, of course, had planned otherwise. He prided himself on being able to surprise his wife each birthday, and it was getting increasingly difficult over the years.

“You like it, Suze?” Peter asked her, his green eyes bright with hope.

Suzanne pulled on her new red wool coat, and modeled it for her family, turning in a circle to their clapping and cheers.

“It’s luxurious, thank you.” Suzanne smiled.

“I picked the color!” Madison offered, her toothless six year old grin beaming. “It matches your hair!”

“Marvelous choice, Maddy.” Suzanne looked to her son, who had his arms crossed in front of his chest and stood leaning against the kitchen doorway. “Thank you, Jimmy.” He hadn’t brushed his hair yet that morning, but Suzanne opted not to mention it; not today.

The thirteen year old rolled his eyes. “It’s James, Mom.”
