Autumn Story Walk along the Resilience Garden at Barrington Government Center

Take a stroll and enjoy excerpts and vivid illustrations from the picture book Wonderfall by Michael Hall. Follow the story of a single tree through the changing seasons from fall to winter, as people, animals, and vehicles pass in front of the tree, celebrating holidays, playing in the leaves, and building nests. You can find the story walk signs adjacent to the sidewalk (at the top Gazebo Hill) parallel to County Road. The Story Walk along the Resilience Garden at Barrington Government Center is funded by a grant from the Office of Library and Information Services (OLIS). *The Barrington Government Center Resilience Garden is an educational garden located along the walkways found between the library building and County Road. The garden is designed to be resilient to the effects of climate change that include at various times hotter, drier, and wetter conditions. It contains a variety of hardy, native, and locally sourced plants that require less watering, weeding, pesticides, and fertilizers than more traditional gardens. The garden functions as a community resource to help and encourage residents to create simple and affordable resilience gardens of their own.
