Grounds work at Rosedale is active and on-going. Results show in these pictures. Huge amounts of weeds, vines and volunteer trees have been removed. More than 40 dead or dying trees have been removed, stumps ground out, and wood chips replaced with top soil. The land has been graded and smoothed so that a mower can pass over the lawns and terraces.

The recent clean up unveiled steps to the "Bank Barn"; so named because the barn was dug out into the bank of the hill. It would have had a sloping roof, and been used to house the buggy horses. At the time of the historical designation, there was no way to document the authenticity.
As of July, 2004, our new irrigation system is operational.
