Thank you both for the input. I figured that it would not be wise to add water to the original stone facade. I will likely highlight the wall with an attractive flowering tree in front of it and up-lighting to create a unique shadow on the stone.

Aiken, SC is currently in the construction phase of a green street project funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. They have installed several bioswales into a few existing wooded parkways that run along each street in the historic downtown. I was involved in a studio project in Aiken last year so have a background knowledge of the “green infrastructure” project currently being installed.

Here is link to a desription of the project:

Thanks everyone for your insightful ideas. David, this treetrains graphic is very similiar to what I had envisioned for my park. Can you tell me who designed it so that I can cite them in my presentation? I will be sure to post a graphic of my presentation board in a few weeks!
