The improvements will unfold in phases and incorporates beautification of the main pathway, creating an entrance to the area by placing a pergola that will be covered in flowerings creepers, and making the lawn area more accessible by providing a meandering path and shaded benches. There will also be a central space kept open to host events, such as Saba Day. One of the most important aspects of the project will be the planting of trees and vibrant flowers, creating an environment that encourages bees and other insects, which are essential for ecological biodiversity.
Native trees and plants, such as the Black-eyed Susan, were selected to be planted, along with the West Indian almond tree, pink trumpet tree, and various mango trees. These additions will not only enhance the natural beauty of the area but also provide much-needed shade.
A new pond will also be included, with plants to protect fish and a birdbath to attract local wildlife. The additional benches will create a welcoming environment, with larger trees and pergolas providing shade for relaxation and enjoyment throughout the day. Stone paving will be added to the existing pathway to elevate the overall appeal.
With this project, PES aims to create a permanently inviting space for residents not only when visiting the main government building, but also simply to enjoy and meet each other while celebrating nature and promoting biodiversity.
