The Garden of Verses is located along the rope line walkway in Phase III of the Woodland Walkway. The walkway ambles through a shade garden of indigenous plants. It rises to a wheel chair and stroller accessible deck featuring a train engine sculpted from cedar. The engine and a sculptured teddy bear are reminders of a two-year old whose laughter and joy were tied to a train engine. The O’Neil family sponsored the train. Liam’s train and teddy are for all to enjoy. The boardwalk artist, Mr. Reed Hayden, captured the essence of his youth and laughter. Liam’s Train, was dedicated on Saturday, May 14, 2005.
For a $300 donation to the Cape Cod Horticultural Society (CCHS) you’ll provide joy to little ones as you recall poems from your own past.
Each poem is engraved in black on beige background with the sponsor’s name. The plaque (which measures 9 X 12) is bolted to an aluminum plate and is angle mounted on a Walkway post. To post a poem, please send your $300 check made out to “CCHS” and send to CCHS, PO Box 934, Osterville, MA 02655. Please attach a copy of the poem you have chosen. Application for a Garden of Verses
By supporting the Woodland Walkway, you can “grow” Armstrong-Kelley Park. For a $100 donation, a carved board with your message is installed. Each board is pressure treated 2” x 6” x 4’ lumber. All donations will be used for the betterment of the Park.
Benches
While you walk around the park you will see benches placed in quiet places, for instance, there are several overlooking the John Folk Water Garden and there’s two under the tall trees in the Holly Dell. A bench is a wonderful way to remember a loved one or celebrate a happy memory.
The siting of the bench and the wording on the bench take time and forethought and discussion with representatives from the Park.
Please contact the President of the Cape Cod Horticultural Society, to start the conversation. Larry Evans can be reached at perk63@comcast.net. Please leave your contact information so he can arrange a meeting with you.
The bench will be constructed locally and placed by our volunteers at the site of your choosing after a $1,000 donation is received. Application for Memorial Bench
