What about weather issues?

Alpine Park and Gardens’ pavilion is a fixed roof structure that has a heavy white boat sail drape that allows us to open up one side or totally close it up. An attached enclosed covered deck and stage further buffers the event from the elements. On another note – we live on earth, and weather will be an element regardless of where you are, the time or day, etc. It is who can make the Best of it regardless that counts!

What about insects?

Alpine Park and Gardens use citronella lamps throughout the park proper and are lit prior to events to allow the citronella to permeate in the air. The martin houses and abundance of fish also assist us with control.

We are currently implementing several items in this garden area. The finishing touches of the Tea house will occur in 2019. A rock walk way will circumvent the river pond as well. A amphitheater style sitting area is being installed for a ceremony site over looking the water pond on the reservoir pond. This is an ongoing creation of space that has numerous projects ( plantings, mulching , etc. ) within a project, being done and is taking shape . Some of these items require nature to be accommodating and is the guiding force when things can be done.
