On August 28th, 2010 I participated in the Plein Air Paint Out in downtown Adrian, MI. I chose to cut a linoleum block in Berry Park which is right next door to the Historical Museum. It’s one of my favorite parks in Adrian. Many folks dont even know it exists since it’s tucked away in a little corner of Adrian. I found it a few years ago looking for a geocache. I dont know if the cache is still there? I didnt look for it when I cut this block. I just sat and carved among the conifer trees. In my mind this is what a park should be. Landscape designer, Jens Jensen would approve. Jens believed that parks were for the visual arts, music, literature and drama as much as they were for sports. Creativity and imagination start there. The problem solvers of tomorrow are born in places like this. I want to say thanks to the person who designed this park. The Secret Garden is small, but it’s perfect!
The Secret Garden, will be on display in the Historical Museum from September 18 – October. The Lenawee Historical Museum is located at 107 E Church Street in downtown Adrian, MI.
I love your work, thanks for sharing…keep sharing! Can you post some pictures of the park?
Thanks Robin,
I’ll try to snap a few pics the next time I’m there.
