Nashua Garden Club members and the public will join Mayor Bernie Streeter to rededicate the sensory garden at Greeley Park on July 23 from 3:30-5:30 p.m.

Carolyn Gaudette, former president of the club, will present the bronze relief plaque she designed, which has a sculpted iris and its parts identified in Braille and English. Classical guitarist Corey Levesque will provide musical entertainment.

The sensory garden is near the park’s bath house. It was created in 1994 to offer an experience of garden beauty for all of the five senses, allowing people of all sensory abilities to enjoy nature’s gifts. For more information, call Elizabeth Van Twuyver at 883-5723 or Lois Scotto at 888-5064.
