Responses to question:
• Shrubs/visual break in front of labyrinth to create a sense of privacy. Church of Redeemer in Lexington has this – use as an example.
• Sign should be 2 faced so can be seen from both directions as people pass.
• Open welcoming space, green lawn, benches
• Pleasant welcoming space & User friend so we can walk, play and meditate in it.
• Accessibility – for strollers, elderly (canes & walkers), wheelchairs – careful choice of surfaces.
• Community garden
• Vegetable garden for local food pantries
• Flags
• Maximize the practical usage of the space (annual picnic, etc.) while not sacrificing too much of the flowers, trees, etc. (e.g., Flag poles off to the side?)
• Involvement of kids – Graceworks participation (both Pre-K and After-school)
• Sustainability
• Love the community garden and left side is “protected”
• Moving flag poles good, but is left too crowded – move to front where pillars-like-fence are?
• Love the idea of labyrinth – yes!
• Only gray area for me is benches. Love that we can have services outside. How can we setup more, or more flexible seating? Sometimes even stone “steps” can be benches.
• No benches, all grass. (picture show flowers next to church)
• Making sure Julina does her fair share of the work!
• Make the impression of our church inviting and enhance the historic building. Simple, pleasing design.
• Labyrinth & lots of flowers that will bloom all year long.
• Love it! 1. Solar motion detector walkway, 2. Garden, 3. Benches
• Flat lawn & Walkway lighting
