Gateway Gardens officially opened to the public on Sunday, April 10. It's a joyful, playful, colorful arrangement of blooming plants, trees, paths, metal sculptures of musical instruments and whimsical frogs, beautiful stain glass butterflies, ponds and fountains. There is a HUGE giraffe made of metal and plant material and a delightful maze to stroll or skip through. There is something to make you smile everywhere you turn. If you get tired, sit on a colorful apple, pear or watermelon bench! This is also a teaching garden for young children with pretty and artistic alphabet sculptures throughout the garden. I love everything about Gateway Gardens, but my favorite area is the gorgeous sculpture over the stone fountain with cascading water and the broad, beautiful plaza surrounding it. Totally accessible for young and old. Oh, use the bathroom before you come, so far there are no restrooms. read more
