The city of St. Cloud is announcing another benchmark in the final phase of the Munsinger Clemens Gardens. On Monday, June 14th, a cast iron dome will be installed to complete the Gazebo for the Garden’s Historical Area. The Gazebo will be the site for bronze life-size statues of Virginia and William Clemens, who donated the land, roses and fountain to create the Virginia Rose Garden 20 years ago. St. Cloud Parks and Recreation Director Scott Zlotnik says one of the reasons the Munsinger Clemens Gardens are able to flourish is because of its unique funding.

"The Munsinger Clemens Gardens have a special reserve account as we call it. It’s one-third privately-funded. As we progress into the future with the tough economic times we want to continue that sustainability," said Zlotnik.

The gardens are free open every day from 7:00 am to 10.00 pm. They are closed in the winter.
