Norris Square Visit

Lebewesen's picture

The visit that we took to Norris Square was a very interesting one. Probably the most inspirational part of the gardens were the huge murals that were present in almost every single garden we walked in to. It was so amazing to see these amazing works of art that represented the cultural power and presence that Puerto Rico still had in the lives of the women who created these gardens. I also thought it was great that agricultural gardens were established instead of just flower gardens. That way, the gardens also have practical purpose in that they provide nourishment for the community. Norris Square is an amazing place, and will continue to be an amazing place for years to come.
