Opening of new peace garden on Adams Avenue
by Staff on 01/21/13
Have you noticed the wonderful new addition to Adams Avenue?
A former vacant lot and neighborhood eyesore that once occupied the NE corner
of Adams and Arizona has been masterfully transformed into a meditation garden
that is open for the public to enjoy. The labor and materials as well as the
design required to produce this pocket park was donated by the local Sri
Chimnoy community as homage to their spiritual leader who’s likeness is
represented in the garden by a bronze statue. The planning and construction of
the area was accomplished at a record breaking pace. The property owner agreed
to allow the garden to be built after being approached with the idea by local
business operators. Members of the Sri Chimnoy own several successful
businesses on Adams Avenue including Jyoti Bihanga Vegetarian Restaurant,
Pilgrimage of the Heart Yoga Studio and Papaha’s Art Gallery. The peace
garden’s dedication occurred earlier this January during an hour long ceremony
attended by nearly 100 people.
