The jB+a Park Design Studio developed a restoration master
plan for the Glen Emerald Rock garden, located in DeKalb
County, Georgia. The original 1.6 acre soapstone rock garden
was designed in the 1930s by William L. Monroe, a local
Landscape Architect, and construction of the garden was
funded privately. However, due to fi nancial constraints, the
garden was never fully constructed. The jB+a Park Design
Studio worked with DeKalb County, non-profi t organizations
and community stakeholders to complete the master plan in
the style originally laid out by Monroe. The restored garden
will include a series of water falls and streams, a soapstone
pedestrian bridge, several pocket gardens including: water
garden, sunny rock garden, woodland garden, social garden,
naturalized garden, habitat garden and vista garden – with views
to the distant Glen Emerald Lake. The pockets will be linked
together by way of an ADA compliant natural stone path.
