Public Art at Oaklawn Garden

The City of Germantown contracted with a public artist to inventory and transform objects associated with the new Germantown public park, Oaklawn Garden, into outdoor sculpture. The park’s property, house and artifacts were a bequest to the city for public use by private donors Harry and Becky Cloyes, who cultivated extensive gardens and welcomed visitors to the premises throughout their lives.

A wooden post with several colorful, handmade signs attached. The most prominent sign is painted green and reads like I say in cursive letters. Trees and a clear blue sky are visible in the background.

A wooden arch decorated with colorful signs and red bird ornaments stands in a garden. In front, a small black statue resembling an angel is placed beside green, leafy plants and surrounded by bushes.
