Barvinok-on-the-Park Garden

 

 
     

 

Barvinok Garden:  The linear garden designed by John Stefura and Mark Elliot consists of the three identifiable sections providing a safe walking space for elderly residents.  The garden is entered through a vine-covered arbour.  A variety of trees, shrubs and flowers are combined with hard landscaping, the pergola, pool, fountain, trellis and urn-garden elements that bring drama to the walk experience.

Bandurist:  Sculpture by the internationally celebrated Ukrainian sculptor Leo Mol of Winnipeg was unveiled in the Barvinok Garden in 2003 and funded by the Ukrainian Community.  The "Bandurist" is a sculpture evoking the ancient tradition of wandering minstrels whose epic songs known as Dumas spoke of the Ukrainian longing for freedom and independence.
