These proposed sketches are simplistic in nature. We have proposed to enhance the space by adding a minimum of elements, to keep the emphasis on nature that the arboretum already provides. We hope that these elements enhance the space by providing a space for visitors to sit and enjoy the space, which will hopefully contribute to the number of users that come to the arboretum.
the first part of our proposed plan is to add decorative mosaic benches to one side of the inlets, with a fire pit in the center. The benches and fire pit will give more of an incentive for students or residents to come to the arboretum and enjoy the scenery. The mosaic benches will be designed and created by a group of interested community members.
The second part of our proposed plan is to add benches in the open area on the opposite inlet. The benches will be wooden and of a rustic style, so that they blend better into the scenery. These benches are meant to provide a place for visitors to sit and enjoy the scenery around them.
We have also proposed to construct a bridge between the two inlets, to better facilitate movement between the two inlets. The bridge can be constructed and and decorated by community members, and will act as something made by the community, for the community.
