The Park on Polk is located on the property of First United Methodist Church of Marietta, 56 Whitlock Ave, Marietta, GA 30064.

● Restore the Woodland Garden at the Park on Polk Gardens back to its former pristine state and maintain the garden for the enjoyment of park visitors in the community of Marietta.

BUTTERFLY GARDEN
Phases are we’ll start off in front of the cabin.

We are going to plant a butterfly/pollinator garden in front of the cabin.

First while it’s still to early to plant we’ll prune the shrubbery, work on the bearded iris and do a general sprucing up.
When the weather is warm enough to plant we’ll start planting the pollinators plants such as butterfly bush, lantana, Echinacea cone flower, crocosmia, etc.

SERENITY GARDEN with STUMP GARDEN

Second location inside the garden is a small hike just behind the cabin, one of the oldest trees in Marietta left an enormous stump footprint.

The "Stump Garden" is planned for this area. Adjoining is the "Serenity Garden" which will be enhanced by planting some perennials and sprucing it up. 

 

Once all is planted we’ll set up a maintenance schedule for watering, deadheading, fertilizing, etc. General sprucing up as in raking, picking up dead branches, mulching and fertilizing.

This is a shared community project with the
