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…

I doubt the petition will get anywhere, but I took a shot.

Probably the best idea I’ve seen in the “what to do with Ground Zero” debate. Although I seriously doubt that it will also be carried out…

Yes, how could I not agree! This is a burial ground where so many have died so horribly. It should be left to heal and become a place of beauty. But it is also prime real estate. We shall see!
