Philadelphia's Magic Gardens - May 2012

One of the most bizarre, unique, fun places the boys have been to - Philly's Magic Gardens. The boys still ask me 'Can we go visit that place where you walk around all the trash?'

 








Located in the heart of Philly, we just happened upon the Magic Gardens and decided to explore. So glad we did. It was created by artist Isaiah Zagar in the early 1990s and it covers half a block on Philadelphia's South Street. It is mosaics and pathways, stairs and caves, all made of the randomest things - bicycle tires, glass bottles, dishes, tiles, garden furniture, chandeliers - glued and plastered together into a mysterious world.
