St. Peter’s Episcopal Church
Landscape Design

Springfield, Massachusetts
1999

DDA’s design for St. Peter’s grounds expresses the Parish’s ministry to members and neighbors alike. New fencing along the front provides Parish identity and marks entry points. New ceremonial and social spaces, an entry garden and multi use lawn, accommodate Parish gatherings and annual fair as well as neighboring children’s play. A new walkway through the property welcomes neighbors and improves an accustomed, previously unpaved, shortcut between Buckingham and Sherman Streets. A new memorial garden provides a place of rest. These improvements have replaced impoverished site conditions with a place of beauty and hope in a tenuous urban neighborhood.
