A group of community leaders and volunteers gathered in the Hispanic Alliance Building on Wednesday October 23, 2019 to begin the process of establishing a Mexican Cultural Garden.

The Cleveland Cultural Gardens, founded in 1916, are unique to the world. They represent the diversity and multiculturalism that is Cleveland, and bring life to the Gardens’ mission of “peace through mutual understanding.” Some 32 dedicated gardens, designed and cultivated by distinct cultural or nationality groups, adorn the drive along Martin Luther King Boulevard and East Boulevard in Rockefeller Park.

The Mexican community of Cleveland began the process of adding their garden to the chain.

Also on hand were Alex Lackey from the City of Cleveland, Lori Ashyk, Executive Director of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens Federation and Dan Hanson, Executive Board member of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens Federation and president of ClevelandPeople.com.
