Shakespeare Garden
Fall 2024 Shakespeare Garden Cleanup is postponed due to construction. 
 
Sunrise and West Rotary Clubs joined the Shakespeare Garden volunteers April 20 for a clean up effort. 
 
The Shakespeare Garden is our 2024-2025 Linn County Rotary Community Project, funding major improvements and supported by ALL Eight Linn County Iowa Rotary Clubs! 
 
  
 
The metal gateway feature was fabricated by Marion/East Cedar Rapids Club, Rotarian Tom Barnes (Barnes Mfg, Marion, IA), and installed at the Ellis Boulevard entrance in June 2024! 
 
  
 
Other updated features are shown below. 
 
Fundraising continues for this beautiful riverside garden!    https://friendsofshakespearegarden.org/
