Final preparations
It's only a few days to go before the opening of the Sensory Garden, and final preparations have been taking place.
Richard Williams installs the lighting
The lighting is state of the art very low wattage LEDs
Thanks to the help and support of United Utilities, they have now painted the gas kiosk in a suitable green, and with the paving laid around it, the whole thing looks a lot smarter.
Meanwhile we have installed and tested the water feature that has been purchased by the family of Mrs Spooner, who lived in School Lane. This was quarried in Wales, and installed by the project group and Brunswick workers with the help of Stoneplan Landscapes.
The redoubtable Pete Trimble and his brother have used up spare paving to lay a path to the footway,around the gas kiosk and at the back of the garden, and the Library Service has agreed to re-tarmac the rest of the area in front of the library.
Are you 'aving a laugh Pete Trimble?
The two seats have been provided by the Bishopthorpe Gala Committee, and a third one has been donated by Gordon Watkins. The Parish Council has also bought a seat to replace the old one that stood in front of the Library, although this has yet to be installed. Thanks to Ian Jemison for the fittings and Simon Sykes for the installation.
The Brunswick Team take a well earned rest -
