Colonial Park Perennial Garden Renovation
Merit Award
Site Design
Somerset County Park Commission and Engineering Division with Susan Cohan Gardens and NV5
Accepted by: Thomas Boccino and Charlie Cunion

Originally constructed in 1976, the Colonial Park Perennial Garden is a scenic venue within a public park, often used for weddings and photography as well as an attraction for horticultural learning and inspiration.
This 2020 renovation and upgrade is designed to provide accessible routes among a series of new garden beds anchored by a well-loved gazebo. Visitors of all ages and abilities can now intimately view and enjoy the full range of dramatic and meticulously maintained perennial garden beds.
