The City of Fernley is hosting a Planting Day at the Main Street Art Park from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at
the Main Street Art Park.
Volunteers are invited to help plant new greenery including flowers, shrubs and trees while
celebrating the new public art installations in the park.
Previously, an asphalt walking path was installed, as well as metal flower sculptures and a sign.
Three archways across the walking path are planned, along with three self-watering planters and
six self-watering planters with attached benches. One planter was also purchased to be used
across the street at the Fernley Depot.
The metal sculptures were made and installed by Twisted Steel. They include a 10-foot metal
sculpture of a flower bouquet and two 5-foot metal sculptures of flowers and insects. A 9-foot
metal flower bouquet and three 5-foot sculptures of flowers and insects were also purchased for
installation at the Depot.
All the planned benches and planters will be made of concrete that will look like wood. Deputy
City Manager Lydia Altick said an 8-foot by 8-foot tree planter donated by Trex is also planned.
The improvements were purchased using federal block grant funding.
