The Pergebo Trail

The Pergebo Trail is a Xeriscaped wonderland of ornamental grasses, perennials, and blooming shrubs bisecting the Prairie Trail. Along this walk you will come to the “Pergebo”, a combination of a pergola and a gazebo.  This structure is comprised of eight stone covered columns with aluminum and wire framework, and wisteria vines are being encouraged to grow up and over the meditative structure, which is aligned so each column is an exact compass direction from the center of the structure.  This learning area, or “Classroom Number One” of the Horticultural Arts and Park Institute, Inc. that Sidney Colen has envisioned, is one of the Foundation’s goals for the Park, allowing seating for an intimate group to study and to learn.
