BRATTLEBORO — The Ames Brook Community Garden is searching for an artist to design and build a piece of art for their garden, which is in a nine-acre park on Stockwell Drive and is operated by the Recreation & Parks Department.
The garden, established in 2009 and has 17 plots for gardeners, enjoys the sounds of Ames Brook babbling nearby. Chairs, a wooden swing, a picnic table, and grill are available for all to enjoy.
Over the years, the garden has added traditional aesthetically pleasing pieces, such as an arbor, picket fence, and windmill.
It is the garden's hope to, according to a news release, “create a bold, forward-looking, creative project that will have an artistically pleasing impact on our garden along with the surrounding park.”
The garden is offering a stipend for the accepted proposal.
No deadline has been set for proposals.
For further information, or to express interest in the project, contact Garden Overseer Peter Gaskill at 802-380-6848 or Petergaskill44@gmail.com.
