The Hermannplatz

This Hermann entrance garden was funded by the Garden Club and other community organizations. Maintenance is paid for by the Hermann Garden Club. This lovely garden is on Market Street behind the old Firehouse. To reach the Hermannplatz, park near the old Firehouse and follow the sidewalk behind the Firehouse around the side of the building to the garden with the bronze statue of the German hero Hermann (Arminus) in its center.

The Garden Club has also recently installed an irrigation system and improved the original plantings.This beautiful garden has year-round color. Plantings include Deciduous Holly, Itea “Sweetspire”, Crape Myrtle, Drift Roses, Annual Coreopsis, Prairie Dropseed Grass, Dwarf ‘Hamelen’ Grass, and "Limelight" and "Annabelle" Hydrangea.

A landscape plan is on occasion provided during the Garden Tour.
