After watering the seeds of an idea for several years, the Fairfax Library Garden project is about to grow!
A groundbreaking ceremony was held Monday, June 27, 2022. Present to help celebrate were (left to right): Michael Shane, Department of Public Works; Chantel Walker, Assistant Library Director; Margaret Miles, Fairfax Branch Manager; Cindy Swift, Friends of the Fairfax Library; Lana Adlawan, Library Director; Sue Reams, Library Commissioner; Damon Hill, Library Services Manager.
The garden project will feature an ADA accessible path to a story circle, patio with benches, tables and chairs, an arbor, plus additional trees and native plants. Friends of the Fairfax Library have received donations for over 280 customized engraved pavers and are funding the garden furniture.
