So one day the first of May, Matt suggested we actually go see what Gilgal Gardens was all about. Well, we looked up the address on the internet and found this blurb about the gardens.
"Located at 749 East 500 South in Salt Lake City, Gilgal Sculpture Garden was envisioned, designed and created by Thomas Battersby Child, Jr. in the mid-twentieth century. Tucked in the middle of the block behind houses and businesses, many are still unaware of its existence and enjoy a true sense of discovery when they visit the garden for the first time. Gilgal Sculpture Garden contains 12 original sculptures and over 70 stones engraved with scriptures, poems, and literary texts. As a whole, Gilgal Sculpture Garden is significant as the only identified "visionary art environment" in Utah."
It was quite an experience on the eyes and fun to find a hidden adventure we didn't know about.
After the gardens, we went to walk the new City Creek Mall and have some gelato ice cream.
We heard the coolest sound on the round.
I thought it sounded like motorcycles, but two really cool cars were stopped at a light.
Matt took a picture and I took a picture of him.
Oh man, Gilgal is so weird and fun. If nothing else it provides a potent explanation of why Mormons are cautioned not to drink or use drugs. If this is what Bishop Child came up with while stone cold sober, can you imagine what he would have done if he were under the influence? :)
