Sister Cities “Connections” Garden Opening Celebration

The garden has blue-green curved pathways, symbolizing connections of each of the rivers of our Sister Cities to the oceans of the world. Art plays a key role in the garden, featuring sculptures from partnerships with Limerick, Ireland, Nishinomiya, Japan and Spokane. The garden also includes six concrete panels of a rock-walk reflexology path developed by youth delegates at the 2005 Sister Cities International Conference held in Spokane. Plans are underway for art from partner cities in Jilin, China; Jecheon, South Korea and Cagli, Italy.
