| Herb Spiral Durham, NH 2006 |

|
The Herb Spiral, created for the Children's Garden, is a sensory experience designed to connect the very young (and perhaps the not so young) to their environment. The spiral (in the shape of a snail's shell) leads children through a sloping dirt path dotted with herbs of all varieties. The explorers are invited to touch, crush, taste, and smell the fragrant plants. The head of a snail is a butterfly dish working in tandem with a nearby garden to attract butterflies to the scented spiral.
