Description

Located within Dag Hammarskjold Plaza Park, this naturalistic garden is so narrow it is easily mistaken for plaza landscaping. The secluded space runs the length of the plaza, shaded by original sycamore trees. Etched wall plaques honor Hepburn, who lived in the neighborhood for several decades, and the grounds offer a spot for photographing plants and local birds like robins and house sparrows.
