\"\"Jamestown (Courtesy of Jmst Chamber) \u2013 Jamestown\u2019s Sensory Garden Taskforce is planning a spring installation of a new seating area near the sensory garden\u2019s water feature.\u00a0 Currently, the water feature\u2019s seating area is in the sensory garden, at the end of the boardwalk.<\/p>\n

Paulette Ritter, Co-chair of the Chamber of Commerce\u2019s Beautification Committee,\u00a0 says, \u201cWith the construction of the water feature, we realized we needed a seating area on the west side of the water feature.”\u00a0 Paulette is one of the members of the Sensory Garden\u2019s taskforce.<\/p>\n

The news release goes on the say, hearing the soft sound of the water falling, we thought three new benches directly off the main walking path would be a nice addition to the garden.\u00a0\u00a0 We turned to the Jamestown Vo-tech Center for the construction of these three benches as over the years students from these classes designed and built the first five benches and the 32 planters in the garden.\u00a0 A few years ago, Bob Thoresen, the Vo-tech Center instructor, even brought his students over to the garden so that they could do some repair work on the two bridges that lead into the garden.\u201d<\/p>\n

Doug Hogan, Jamestown Park and Recreation Director, adds, \u201cHaving these new benches directly off the main walking path will give Solien-Denault park walkers a great place to rest and enjoy the new water feature.\u00a0 We have received so many compliments about the sensory garden.\u00a0 It is exciting to see it expand once again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bob Martin, Co-chair of the Chamber of Commerce\u2019s Beautification Committee, says, \u201cWe are extremely grateful to Mr. Thoresen for all of his help and support these past years.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u201cMr. Thoresen has helped make this garden a community collaboration.\u00a0 The benches are built and ready for a spring installation.\u00a0 Now, we just need spring to come and stay.\u201d<\/p>\n
