City of Eureka Grand Opening of Humboldt Council of the Blind Sensory Garden

 At noon on Wednesday, May 14, 2014, the City of Eureka will be hosting the grand
opening of the Humboldt Council of the Blind’s new Sensory Garden at the foot of F Street. In
April of this year, City Council directed staff to work with the Humboldt Council of the Blind to
establish a Sensory Garden at the foot of F Street on the Boardwalk.

Sensory gardens provide intimate spaces where both children and adults can be immersed in the
scents, sounds, textures and colors of plants and related elements. Council of the Blind have
worked with Parks and Recreation staff and installed a sensory garden in planters along the
Boardwalk.
