A Walk through the Cleveland Cultural Gardens

The Cleveland Cultural Gardens are a collection of 24 gardens that represent the different ethnic and community groups, which make up the greater Cleveland community. The gardens are located on a narrow 50-acre strip along East and MLK Blvds., between Lake Erie and University Circle. The gardens, begun in 1916, are a lovely visual depiction of Greater Cleveland's diversity. Join me for a look at ten of these gardens.

Pictured above is the American Legion Peace Garden. The garden features a bust of George Washington and a peace crypt with soil from world shrines.
