Redesigned Garden

Garden Name: Estonian Garden

Date: 1970


September, 2010 marks the completion of the remodeling of the Estonian Garden’s central area.  The original walkway has been replaced by a large, sandstone, boat-like planter surrounded by sandstone walks.  The Baltic Sea is an important part of Estonian life and the boat suggests as much. At the boat’s stern is text incised in a paver.  It is from the Estonian epic poem, Kalevipoeg, and was the inspiration for the vertical, abstract sculpture that has been the focal point of it.
