Bronze Bust of Dr. Henry Marshall – Public Art Tribute
Date: July 19th, 2008
Time: 2:00 pm
Venue: Morden Civic Centre Garden
A significant part of our local heritage is the plant breeding done at the federal research station. No local plant breeder is better known than Dr. Henry Marshall, who created the famous Parkland series of roses and revitalized the rose-growing industry in Canada. To honour Dr. Marshall’s brilliant work, this larger-than-life bronze bust will be installed in the Parkland Rose Garden at the Morden Civic Centre. Jake Goertzen, a local Pembina Hills artist was commissioned to sculpt and cast this memorial bust.
