4 - Community Garden
collection of encapsulated coal ash painted by local community members
Throughout the grant, community members gathered at the library to dream of what they would like to see in Walnut Cove. These dreams evolved into this walking tour: the labyrinths at Cove Square and Christ Church; the bench at the Library, the mural at London Park, and continues through visions for a new greenway in Walnut Cove.
