Wayland Patch 7/26/17: Opening Reception For The Poetry Garden In Wayland. The Poetry Garden was established over spring and summer of 2016, and is a perennial garden that also contains original poetry by Wayland residents displayed on artful placards created by local craftspeople. The opening reception for the garden with a reading by the prize-winning poets is scheduled, rain or shine, in the Poetry Garden next on Wednesday, July 26, at 6 p.m. Even for those who cannot make the reception, the poems remain in the garden to enjoy. The garden is located at the boat launch by the Wayland Town Beach on 20-30 Parkland Road.
