The sundial was created by Richard Edelman in 2014. The nearby plaque states: "The sundial further evokes the passage of time in its utilization of old railroad ties for the elements. Each of the three rails is marked with the original steel mill and railroad brands indicating three very different but important years... 1916, 1940 and 1970. The sundial is dedicated to: 75th anniversary of the Boerner Botanical Gardens, 30th anniversary of the Friends of the Boerner Botanical Gardens."
Additional information about how this sundial operates is also provided.
Boerner Botanical Gardens describes itself as "A garden setting for learning that nurtures understanding, enjoyment, and stewardship of our natural world, while nourishing and preserving the gardens for future generations." Definitely a nice place to visit!
