The Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park organization has made a contribution of $35,000 to the City of Lake Forest Park for public art.
Rodger Squirrell is a Lake Forest Park resident and artist who works in metal. His pieces range from small mushroom art, which he has in his garden, to metal sculptures eight feet tall.
He was the winner of the competition to create a “signature piece of public art” for the City’s 50th Anniversary.

The piece he created for the City is a collection of five pentagonal pillars of various heights that have a water motif.
This gift from the Garden Tour will be located on the grassy area just south of City Hall at the intersection of Ballinger and Bothell Way.
The Squirrell garden and studio are part of the Secret Gardens of Lake Forest Park Garden tour, Saturday, June 18.
