DSC Partnership. Lexington / University of Kentucky Arboretum, Childrens Garden Project. March 2009 - April 2011.

This community project for the Children's Garden at the Lexington / University of Kentucky Arboretum benefitted from the donation of expertise, time, materials and services from a number of local volunteers, design firms, companies and organizations. The Conservancy was asked to locate inexpensive sources of stone from across the state and to install five geologic features that depict the different geology and physiographic regions of Kentucky. Last year we built the Bluegrass Overlook, Knob and Seeping Springs features. This spring we installed the Kentucky River Palisades and the Western Kentucky Cave features as well as the entrance boulder canyon walls and overlook retaining walls and pillars. As the spring and summer progressed, others installed various water features, plantings and additional hardscape. (updated 11/18/10).
