The 5th graders at Sherrills Ford Elementary School in Catawba County, NC had a class project this year to design a park. Knowing that Wirth & Associates had completed master planning for the nearby 600 acre Mountain Creek Park, the school asked Gary Wirth to come and present what is a landscape architect and how does a landscape architect plan such a park. Mr. Wirth presented the design process to the class and then related it to how it was applied to the master plan for Mountain Creek Park.
The 5th graders then presented their park plans to their classmates and Mr. Wirth who provided encouraging comments on their designs. Perhaps there are a few future landscape architects in the group?? We hope so!
