Cultural Gardens: Part IV

Well, it's about time to finish off my series on the Cleveland Cultural Gardens for the moment. To wrap things up, I wanted to share some pictures of the newest Garden, the still under construction Syrian Garden.


Construction began in early August. These photos are from October, which makes sense considering the lack of snow in all of them. :) Below you can see the beginnings of a center focal point surrounded by a stone amphitheater.


The next view was taken from the upper landing of the garden just off East Boulevard. Partway down the stairway, you can see a decorative second landing in the form of an eight-pointed star. I'm looking forward to seeing how the entire space continues to take form once we emerge from the Cleveland winter.


And that completes my tour of some of the newer sights in the Cleveland Cultural Gardens. We'll definitely have to revisit the gardens once the weather gets nice again. In the meantime, there are some big changes happening on a daily basis in downtown Cleveland that you'll all want to see, especially if you do not get down there on a daily basis. Hope to have those put together for you all very soon!
