During the month of November, I thought that I might be leaving Cleveland for other pastures. Of course, that would have spelled a quick end to this blog. Thankfully for the blog, it was not meant to be, and instead some opportunity came about locally. That has kept me a little too busy to post, but I'm finally getting settled enough to devote some time online again.
Picking up where we left off in October, here is the third installment of new and exciting changes in the Cleveland Cultural Gardens. This time around I wanted to show some new renovations to existing gardens. Along with all the new additions in the past decade, so many of the cultural gardens have seen a lot of love and care that they might not have gotten at some points in previous years.
First off, over the summer, the Estonian Garden got a little face lift in the form of a new stone path from the road and a new raised planter in the middle of the path.
Here you can see the text of a poem inscribed at the base of the planter.
The Irish Cultural Garden also got a big change, courtesy of a huge new fountain.
Along with the fountain, there are a number of black stone memorials to famous people of Irish ethnicity. And of course the beautiful garden and paths surrounding it all!
In the next couple days I'll have one more installment on the Cleveland Cultural Gardens before we move on to other parts of Cleveland and the surrounding region.
Loving the blog so far!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I didn't want to post two days in a row, so probably tonight I'll finish out my tour of Cultural Garden sights.
ReplyDeleteThere's a whole lot of other stuff happening day to day that I need to capture too....change is in the air!
