Speak, Friend, and Enter

An ADA-accessible walkway offers access to the garden

It didn't take long for the County to act on this feature.  We can't wait to fill in the border and to get our old garden bench moved from its current location to this area next to the walkway.

This will make the garden entrance not only accessible but inclusive.  An invitation to come on down and enjoy the plants and animals.  Please remember, however, that this garden does not have maid service, so take nothing but pictures and make sure everything is tidy and inviting for the next guests.

Move this bench next to the walkway to create a gathering spot.
