See the Special Features page for more detailed restoration plans.

Re-establishing the gardens will support a series of classes and tours for the public.  The Corbin rose and small perennial gardens and castle overlook will be reconstructed.  The Corbin project includes installing an irrigation system; constructing pathways, a footbridge, and railings; and reconstructing the basalt castle overlook along with the installation of interpretive signs.

The Moore-Turner restoration phase will begin with clearing and stabilizing pathways and marking ruin sites.  Garden features and pathways will be reconstructed before development of the perennial gardens.  The bed layout precedes the installation of underground wiring and irrigation systems.  A 70-foot pond and waterfall, basalt columned pergola, tea house, reflection pond, and rose arbor will be restored.  The rose garden will be the final garden area to be restored with a sundial focal point.  The main entry to the Heritage Gardens will include restrooms, an information kiosk, and parking lot improvements.  Installation of interpretive signs, the planting of perennials, roses, woodland plants, turf, shrubbery, trees, and annuals will complete the restoration of this historic garden project.

The already-established Natural Woodland Area will encompass the remaining southern hillside behind the Corbin House.  Native plantings will be re-established to the site.  Pathways will be constructed to allow the viewing of the basalt outcrops and cliffs throughout the woodland area, which will connect the Gardens to the City of Spokane's Cliff Park.
