The following were noted in the local paper as flowering in the park:

Daffodils and hyacinths (1901); petunias, Phlox drummondii and dahlias (1903); poenies, pansies and white stocks (1904); gladioli (1905); daffodils and jonquils (1906); phlox, petunias and asters (1917); geraniums (1925); dahlias (1927).

Roses are seen clearly in postcards. An archway was erected in 1905 for climbing plants; a postcard from 1928 shows an archway to the north of the fountain.

Rabbits were a continual problem, with ferrets and poison being used to control them.
