The Topiary Garden aka "Cedar Zoo" that once stood beside the old Harvey Train Station excited passengers traveling through the village. Photo was owned by Glendon Caulfield, son of the the Cedar Zoo's creator Urban V. Caulfield. Image thanks to J.Hall (October, 2004).
Snake fence built of cedar rails laid out in a zig zag pattern was a typical fence type used by the early Harvey Settlers. The cedar was very hard to rot this making for a very durable fence. Few original examples remain as wire fences have been used since the end of WWII. The dry hollow rails make excellent kindling so most have be salvaged as fire wood. The fence has been reconstructed by Laverne Swan using salvaged rails that are probably at least 100 years old. The Swan farm is located at the junction of Highway 3 and Patterson road, visible in the background. Image thanks to R.T. Patterson taken 2004
