Artist Statement: "Lulu, a Memory Garden" is a story. It is a story about the park’s past and about people’s experiences of gardens. The park has been renamed Paulik Gardens Neighbourhood Park to recognize the Paulik Family, the former owners of the large ornamental gardens and woodlot. Ed Paulik, who grew up on this land, took care of the park for many years. more »
