Title	Sacramento Garden Center at McKinley Park
Date	1975
Description	This circa 1975 postcard shows a portion of the rose gardens at McKinley Park, located at corner of H and Alhambra streets. The garden's genesis came in 1906 when Mrs. J. Henry Miller suggested the establishment of flower beds. The effort was buttressed with 1928's "City Beautiful Movement" and the development of the rose garden under Sacramento's first parks superintendent Frederick N. Evans, the area's eventual namesake. By the beginning of the twenty-first century, the rose garden - comprised on 1,200 plants - was the largest of its kind in the city.
