Turkish Cultural Garden now official
The City of Cleveland has made the Turkish Garden’s proposed site official. The Turkish community can now begin building on the plot which lies on East Blvd (last plot on East Blvd) from the Rockefeller Greenhouse property on the north to St. Clair Avenue on the south. Coincidentally, the Turkish Garden’s proposed site in immediately east of both the Armenian and Azerbaijan Gardens on MLK. Those nations border Turkey geographically; each east of Turkey. The Turkish community will now focus on preparing the site for their Garden and then erecting the first phase of their Garden, the Whirling Dervish. See the following JPG files showing the overall Garden design and an artist’s rendering of the Sufi (Whirling Dervish) court with white statue.
