About Our Landscaping

The Friends of the Town Hall Library designed and maintain the renovated Leitgabel herb garden as well as the ornamental strip down the driveway. Two Aldo Leopold benches were donated as part of a Boy Scout Eagle Award project.  Learn more about the St. Fiacre statue found in the herb garden here.

Also in the herb garden is a medicine wheel.  The medicine wheel is an ancient Native American symbol. “Medicine” can be physical or spiritual and “Wheel” refers to the circle of life. The circle includes the four directions (each represented by a different color), the four seasons, the four sacred plant medicines and more.

The medicine wheel in the library’s herb garden was created by the Friends of the Town Hall Library in 2021.

In June of 2021, Master Gardener and Friends of the Library member, Kathy Walrath, coordinated with Jim Flynn in the creation of a new compost bin for the library.  Jim is a member of Boy Scout Troop 224 of Hartland and made the compost bin as part of his Eagle Award project.   Pictured with Jim below is Kathy Walrath and THL director, Kaushalya Iyengar.
