Shakespeare Garden

Fall 2024 Shakespeare Garden Cleanup is postponed due to construction.

Sunrise and West Rotary Clubs joined the Shakespeare Garden volunteers April 20 for a clean up effort.

The Shakespeare Garden is our 2024-2025 Linn County Rotary Community Project, funding major improvements and supported by ALL Eight Linn County Iowa Rotary Clubs!

The metal gateway feature was fabricated by Marion/East Cedar Rapids Club, Rotarian Tom Barnes (Barnes Mfg, Marion, IA), and installed at the Ellis Boulevard entrance in June 2024!
