A fountain is the centerpiece of an extensive spring garden at the Harold Barker home on Klingler Road.

Here, poppies and phlox beautify the landscape on a sunny Friday. This year, fewer people will enjoy this long stretch of flowers bordering the road since Klingler Road is closed for construction near the Barker home.
