SHADE TRELLIS NARRATIVE

SDCA proposes a trellis that directs visitors from the entrance of the garden to the
dome. In addition to being a wayfinding element and providing shade, the trellis will

guide visitors on a path through the garden, orchard, firepit, and greenhouse.

Depending on funding, a proposed phase two would add solar panels and an

underground rainwater collection system. Incorporating solar panels (left: section detail)
will provide additional electricity to the site as well as provide an educational tool for
Our Giving Garden. Similarly, adding gutters and downpipes that drained to an
underground rainwater collector would provide additional water for irrigation and

promote self-sufficiency for the garden.
