'TIMOTHY M. KANT FOUNTAIN AND ROSE GARDEN'

The cooler, dryer weather is producing spectacular blooms at the city's refurbished rose garden on the bay; a resolution was passed last June by the city council naming the area for the city's first horticulturist and former mayor (1985-2016). 

Kant oversaw the design/construction of the original fountain and garden in the mid-1980s; a year-long renovation of the entire pier park area has just concluded.

June 9 2025 naming resolution.

Looks beautiful! Got up at 5:00 am on Friday, fixed a coffee and looked at the live pier cam on my phone. A city worker was hand mowing the new sod around the fountain at 5:15 am! Dedicated worker. Appreciate him and all of our city employees

Honoring Mayor Kant by naming the rose garden for him is perfect recognition of his years of service to our city and his commitment to making it beautiful and a great place to live.
Good decision by Fairhope’s leaders.
Congratulations, Tim
