Landscaping

The front entrance of the library and the much of the outside parameter was landscaped, funded by the Parks and Public Spaces Initiative with the Oklahoma City Community Foundation. We received a new bicycle rack that is a public art piece placed on the south side of the library entrance, with slate rock laid on the north side of the entrance and two large planters in front of two brick pillars where we planted Red Yucca plants.

Blooming crepe myrtles were planted along the red brick wall that runs south from the entrance and along the Village Greens west wall on the north end of the property. The east side of our building has a large glass block window space that needed to be shaded from the morning sun and 5 large crepe myrtles were planted there and that space is very comfortable all day long.

We had five trees removed from under the utility lines and about eight were planted in spaces where shade was needed. Now they will not disrupt utility lines or structures on the property.
