Bronze Sculpture - DR. HENRY MARSHALL
A significant part of Morden's heritage is the plant breeding done at the federal research station. No local plant breeder is better known than Dr. Henry Marshall, who created the famous Parkland series of roses and revitalized the rose-growing industry in Canada. To honour Dr. Marshall’s brilliant work, this bronze sculpture was installed in the Parkland Rose Garden at the Morden Civic Centre.
