Gerald Lawson, a local farmer, donated the land and development funds in 1985 for this beautiful formal garden complex. The garden was dedicated in 1987 to the memory of his first wife, Alice. Oriented around a large reflecting pool and gazebo, seasonal plantings of colorful annuals accent the walkways and grassy area. In 1990 the Pullman Rotary Club donated funds for development of a circular rose garden which was planted in 1991-92 with 600 assorted rose bushes. The perennial Garden was planted along the east side of the garden in 1991 and provides unique and colorful displays year round.
Other plans for future development include a conservatory and theme
gardens such as woodland, Japanese, lilac and native plant gardens. Lawson Gardens is a
popular location for summer and fall weddings and may be rented through the Pullman City
Parks and Recreation Office (509) 334-4555 ext.228.
