Wapato Annual Garden

The historic pergola, a crescent-shaped arbor with an open roof and tall columns, has lent a hint of Italian garden to this South End park's main entryway since 1938. The structure was restored in 2001 and serves as the backdrop for year-round seasonal color. Flower baskets hang from beams encircled by rows of blooms. The surrounding gardens feature beautiful specimen Japanese maples and perennials enhanced with spring flowering bulbs and a multitude of summer flowering annuals. During the summer, visitors will be greeted by a riot of color featuring cannas, sunflowers, dahlias, cosmos, begonias, fragrant nicotiana and dianthus.
