-
Pomme de Terre Overlook This structure will
overlook the Pomme de Terre River Valley allowing people to relax and
enjoy the view. It will provide a visible connection to the
traffic on Highway 59 and can be used for events or picnics.
-
Sensory Garden - This Garden will be a fully
accessible outdoor space to soothe and strengthen mind, body and spirit
using plants that stimulate the senses. It will also offer ideas for
garden design, container planting, and plant materials.
-
Trail Project - This trail project will expand
the success of the Gardens by developing a new trail to improve
accessibility for all citizens and provide additional parking.
The project's concept organizes the Horticulture Garden along a curved
trail representing the Pomme de Terre River that runs through the
WCROC. This trail will originate at a bluff overlook and wind
through various themed Gardens creating outdoor classrooms where people
can learn about flowers, plants, and the prairie; or just sit and enjoy
the beauty of the garden. The trail will link the Gardens to the
current Pomme de Terre City Park's walking and biking trails allowing
the existing park trail system to form a complete loop around the
popular Pomme de Terre park and playground. When completed, the
new trail will provide access through a prairie area, overlook the
Pomme de Terre River, and take community members, hikers, campers,
cyclists and tourists through the Gardens. - Water Resources Education Garden (plans TBA)
