Did you know we were once The City of Roses?

Victoria was once known as the City of Roses. We were once known for residents banding together and growing roses throughout the city, making Victoria more attractive (not to mention smelling amazing) for guests and neighbors alike. We have a Memorial Rose Garden we continue to preserve and enjoy today.

Now is our chance to band together, and make the Crossroads a mean green city machine with a free event to inspire each of us to bring nature home, clean the air and beautify our fine city by planting and caring for trees!

It's the Bringing Nature Home event, brought to you by the movers and shakers at Victoria Parks and Recreation and the Victoria County Master Gardeners Association as well as the Texas A&M Agrilife Extension.

But First, Pop Up Parks

Have you noticed in the last few months how active our Victoria Parks and Recreation has been with new events throughout the community?
