Work Gets Going on Garden Accessibility

The frame for a concrete pad and walkway has been laid.  It is approximately 12x12 feet in size and is in the north (shady) side of the garden.  It is easily wide enough to accommodate visitors using a wheel chair.  We may be able to get accessible seating for those in walkers.  If you look at the right side of the photo you'll see some bags of leveling sand.  Behind them is a fully functional spigot with pressure equivalent to that of an outside garden hose.

We plan to move the original garden bench (on the south sunny side of the garden) next to the concrete pad.  We'll have to remove some firebushes.  We may be able to get enough roots to give these plants away.  The bench will end right next to the "broken pot" sculpture.  It should be fun.  The place the bench used to occupy can host additional blooming native nectar plants.

The work that has been done was made possible by a grant from the Tower Foundation using outside contractors.  Here's hoping the County has time to do the additional work to make this idea a reality.
