Hubbard Public Library's Sensory Garden
Hubbard Public Library's Sensory Garden is featured in the August 2024 issue of PRB+ Magazine, "Radical Inclusivity" and focuses on special needs and innovative, creative design. The article is entitled "Awakening the Senses: A closer look at Hubbard Public Library's Sensory Garden" and features the beautiful Sensory Garden and its elements. These elements include a giant wind chimes, a waterfall, a poetry post, diverse plants and herbs, a unique "Pebble Harp" which generates calming, soothing sounds as pebbles are dropped into it, and an awning to allow for outdoor programs even on summer's hottest days! This Sensory Garden is one of the first outdoor resources in the Library's "Beyond Library Walls—Bringing the Library Outdoors." This outdoor initiative serves all members of the community and provides equitable access to nature, health and well-being, and literacy/learning. The Sensory Garden opened officially in 2014. And, now open for an impressive ten years, this Sensory Garden is currently undergoing plans for 're-imagination' and 're-creation.' New features will include an interactive water feature and a pollinator garden. For more information, or to read the article, visit the PRB+ Magazine website at .
