Sensory & Mobility Discovery Garden

UPDATE:
The Mighty Kids Discovery Garden at Mighty Oaks Children’s
Therapy Center is under construction! Thanks to the terrific partnership
with Matthew Conser of The Conser Group, we have completed Phase I of our garden plan.
Mr. Conser has volunteered his time and expertise as Project Manager,
and we appreciate his support of this exciting endeavor!
We would like to give special thanks to our friends at Comcast
and Hewlett-Packard, who kicked off this project with installation of our
irrigation system and fencing the area, as well as to Mr. Conser,
K& D Engineering, and David Dodson, who have been instrumental in
performing survey and design work to finalize our plans for the garden.
We are excited with the plans to include a variety of sensory and movement
opportunities which will maximize the opportunities for therapy that we offer to
children with special needs at Mighty Oaks, and would like to thank James Jordan
for his financial contribution to the project.
On September 14th, 2007, as part of the United Way Day of Caring,
volunteers from Hewlett Packard helped clear the garden, spread bark in our flowerbeds,
and built planter boxes to allow children of all sizes to access the planting beds in the garden.
Thanks to their hard work, Phase II of our plan is ready to begin!
We are thrilled that the following individuals and businesses have committed their
support to help this dream come to fruition:
v Bill Foss – All Star Curb and Concrete
v Green and White Rock Products, Inc.
v Downs Construction
v Sure Flow Concrete Pumping, Inc.
v Parr Lumber
We appreciate your dedication to the children of our community,
and look forward to working with you in order to turn the Mighty Kids
Discovery Garden into a reality. We are still seeking donation of the following
plants and materials, needed for completion of the garden:
v Plants: Flowering, Vegetables, Small fruits, Hearty bushes, Butterfly bushes, Hummingbird attractants
