This angled shot shows off the colorful annual plantings and some of the perennial plants that were included. The perennials were obviously not at their peak in some cases, however, they were included because of their being oft-used local plants and are also connected to Mary.

A cross view showing the paver design, another colorful view of the plants and religious statuary.

Another view of the garden and you get a peak at the signage that was installed around the lobby area that described the history and intent of Mary Gardens.

Here is a close- up of the Mary statue, flanked by Clematis vines. Again, Clematis are not at their peak this time of year (April), however they are one of the plants that are very strongly linked to the Virgin Mary.

Here you see visitors enjoying the gardens as the walk through. The paper the woman in the photo is holding is an information sheet the library provided visitors with more detailed information about Mary plants and gardens.

Here we have swapped out the annual portions of the gardens. This is the Summer Iteration of the garden.

Here you see the Fall iteration of the garden.

And the final, Winter iteration is shown here.

A close up during the Winter installment.

Another view of the Winter Iteration.

A nice panoramic shot of the Winter version, as you can see, some of the perennial plants are filling in nicely.

A shot from behind the Mary statue that shows the main entry and service desk of the library. The set of doors, through which all materials came in and went out, is just beyond the turf area to the left.
