Members of Wayland’s Facilities and Sustainability Departments gathered on September 2 with volunteers from the Wayland Garden Club and the wider community to beautify newly renovated Stone’s Bridge in Wayland with planters containing native plants.
The group worked diligently through the morning and early afternoon to build self-watering containers and fill them with locally loved native flowers including penstemon, great blue lobelia, coneflowers and butterfly weed.
The public is welcome to visit Stone’s Bridge to view both the restored bridge and the flower display.
Stone’s Bridge is a historic stone arch bridge that is located just north of Stonebridge Road and partially crosses the Sudbury River. Built in 1858, it is a well-preserved example of mid-19th-century stone bridge construction, despite its truncation in 1955 due to a shift in the river channel. The bridge was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975.
