Butterfly Garden: Hardscape Recommendations Butterfly Garden Illustrative Plan
Butterfly Garden Hardscape Plan
Stamped Concrete Gateway to the Promenade Project
Stone Dust Path
Hardscape Recommendations To explore the butterfly garden, we suggest a smaller scale, informal stone dust Stone Dust Path path. This path may require occasional maintenance through the addition of more stone dust, but otherwise will be easily maintained by the Public Services Department. A small winding path will engender a sense of seclusion next to the Railroad Viaduct. This will encourage children to explore the plants and butterflies found in the garden. The path could terminate at the Railroad Viaduct itself, connecting to the promenade project currently underway. When finished, the Stamped Concrete promenade project will connect the Riverfront Park to the Clemens Center thus creating a pedestrian friendly environment for patrons of the theater to walk to Water Street after a show to a cafe or for a stroll in the park. We recommend stamped concrete for the hardscape under the viaduct as a way to indicate the destination at the park as well as mitigate cost / maintenance associated with paver plazas.
