Description

Tucked away on East 2nd Street, this pocket of greenery offers a peaceful setting for creative writing or a quiet moment to breathe among the plantings. If it happens to be open when you walk by, it is an easy place to slip into. The garden relies on those who use it, so if you sit for a while, look for the little contribution box affixed to a tree.
