(KAIR)--A new green space, complete with local child-decorated mosaic stepping stones, flowerbeds, and other features, has officially opened for public use in Atchison.
That follows a planned ribbon cutting at "Monet's Garden," located on the lawn of the Atchison Library, located at 401 Kansas Avenue, held Tuesday evening prior to the "Summer Sounds Concert Series" on the library lawn.
The project's focus, and its namesake, is a recreation of the bridge viewed in Monet's painting, "The Waterlily Pond."
The project, intended as a public space to be used for future events, was created through a partnership between the Atchison Art Association, the Atchison Public Library, and Urban Lawncare.
A social media post from the Atchison Library calls the transformation of the lawn into Monet's Garden, “a masterpiece of art, nature, and childhood wonder.”
