CHECK OUT THE PROGRESS AT HARMONY PARK!  New irrigation system & electrical!

HARMONY PARK
PHASE ONE

Phase One is currently in progress - thanks to the Eureka Springs Public Works Department and the City of Eureka Springs. Phase One addresses critical infrastructure improvements, removal of dead and damaged trees, new irrigation system, new lighting, landscaping, and a variety of other repairs and drainage mitigation. Phase One includes the installation of "Rocksberry the Tall" and the refurbished Harmony Chimes (formerly known as GPAC).

Phase Two is now starting!  More landscaping and lots more art installations - permanent and temporary. Stay tuned!

LANDSCAPING UPDATE-JULY 2026

The planting beds in Harmony Park now provide a refreshed visual welcome at that entrance to the city.  Stonewalls have been repaired, lighting installed and a new sprinkler system installed.  Work continues this summer on the infrastructure and grading, but a great visible difference are all of the new plants.

 

Shrubs, ferns and other perennials were selected for deer resistance and the often shady spots in the park.  Perennials include:  All Gold Japanese Forest Grass, Wild Sweet William, Wood Aster,  Mouse Ear Coreopsis, Jack Frost Brunnera, Christmas Fern, Dwarf Crested Iris, Rose Verbena, Columbine, Astilbe, Creeping Phlox, Rudbeckia, Hellebore, Green and Gold, Columbine, Russian Sage.  Shrubs include ‘Ruby Spice’ Summersweet, ‘Ruby Slippers’ Hydrangea, Ogon Lemon Thread Spirea, Blue Dwarf Fothergilla and Inkberry Holly.  There is an enough sun in some of the beds to include a few grasses: Little Bluestem and Cape Breeze Switchgrass.   Visitors will also note that each bed has some annuals for color and added interest.

 

These beds have been tended through the years by volunteer gardeners and the Rotary Club.  Plants from those contributions were able to largely be incorporated into the new design which was developed in cooperation with McClellan Engineering.  Thank you for that foundation.

 

We are grateful to Debbie Campbell, Hibiscus Gardening, for her good work in gathering all of the material and planting out these beds. …. She was assisted by her visiting grandson Ali and his friend Landon, as well as our city gardener Jonathan (don’t have his full name).  So if you see Deb out and about (often in a garden bed), a well-deserved thanks is in order.
