Adam Purple is an artist/gardener that created, back in the 70s-80s this garden in Manhattan’s Lower East Side.
Now, Adam and a group of urban designers and gardeners are proposing to create a garden in the piece of ground where the WTC was before Sept. 11th. Perhaps you might want to sign the petition online…
