What I Saw - George Garvin Brown Garden

George Garvin Brown Garden

This photograph was taken of the George Garvin Brown Garden on Muhammad Ali Boulevard with the trees decorated with snow.

The Center for Interfaith Relations created the garden in Louisville.  The symbols built in the garden communicate spirituality, tolerance and the  faith traditions of many faiths. Moving water is central to the garden.  Two fountains symbolize themes of creation and reconciliation.  The walkways are granite arcs that symbolize the foundations of the sacredness in faith.  The completed garden has earned design awards from the Kentucky Chapter of the American Society of Landscape Architects and the Boston Society of Landscape Architects.

It is perhaps fitting that the garden is located along Muhammad Ali Boulevard.  Close by is Martin Luther King Jr. Park at Chestnut Street.  Perhaps Muhammad Ali carried some of Dr. King's message in life.  In the last thirty years of his life  Muhammad Ali sought to solve problems of conflict on many stages.  The garden continues on doing its work for making conflict less intense.
