LUCERNE, Calif. – The Lucerne Alpine Senior Center Memorial Rose Garden is marking its 20th anniversary.

A bequest from the L.R. Ottinger estate established the garden and it was dedicated on July 3, 1993.  

For 20 years various kinds and colors of roses have been planted and are as varied as the people they honor.  

The garden is located on the center's northeast corner. There is a dedication plaque on the pathway to the center which remembers more than 180 individuals with roses in their name.  

Every July, the garden is rededicated. Lucerne Alpine Senior Center is requesting help from volunteers in the upkeep of the garden. Call 707-274-8779 if you wish to assist.
