The Garden of Delight can be found at 203 S. Sartain Street, in Philadelphia.
An empty lot full of chunks of concrete became a community garden and work of art, transforming the entire neighborhood.

I love the idea of neighbors in a big city, getting together to grow food,
enjoy gardening and create a spot of beauty in their city. |
