The Rotary Rose Garden and Peace Arbor

The Rotary Club of Fayetteville and the Northside Fayetteville Rotary Club are pleased to announce their joint support of the Rotary Rose Garden and Peace Arbor, a community project that benefits the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks and the Northwest Arkansas community at large.

Please click here to view Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the Rotary Rose Garden and how you can help.

It is an exciting time for the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks now that the Carl A. Totemeier Horticulture Center is complete and well over 18,000 square feet of backyard gardens, a children's garden, Japanese garden, rock and water garden, and other gardens are under construction (see conceptual plan below).
Arguably the most striking feature of the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks will be the Rotary Rose Garden and Peace Arbor. It will contain approximately one hundred different varieties of roses (see conceptual plan below) and a stunning architecturally designed arbor as the garden's centerpiece. Below is the lastest rendering of what the arbor will look like up close. The arbor was designed by Amirmoez, Foster, Hailey and Johnson Architects in Fayetteville led by Rotarians Jim Foster and Zed Johnson. Click the image for a larger depiction of the Peace Arbor. In addition to the significant funding and support of the Fayetteville Rotary clubs, the community at large and local businesses are asked to show their support by getting in on the ground floor of what will be a significant Northwest Arkansas landmark.
