A sign was attached to the rail separating the sidewalk from the plants. That sign read in part: "The Ginkgo, Araucaria and Cycads in this garden can be thought of as living fossils because these species have existed on earth since prehistoric times."

Some of the ferns in the prehistoric garden appeared brown along the edges and threadbare.

The prehistoric garden occupied the space behind a curve in the sidewalk. In places, ferns grew out over the fence.
