Terrace entrance beds

With the Skeena Salmon Arts Festival Society · 2025 to 2026

Beds at the entrance of the city

A vision first drawn on a small piece of paper: boulder-edged perennial beds at the entrance of the city, built in conjunction with the Skeena Salmon Arts Festival Society, the non-profit arts collective behind much of Terrace's public beautification. Wesley set the stone and planted the beds with K5T students in May 2025.

By August 2026 the beds had grown into themselves: echinacea, hydrangea, and blue spruce over white river rock.
