CITY CENTER MILWAUKEE - Dawn Powell, President - DMZ Community Gardens and Richard Kauper, Consultant Architect are two special citizens in the Borchert Community working to ensure that "Amazing Architecture and Great Gardens" are in the neighborhood.

They are gifting the neighborhood with beauty, nature's gifts and the influence of "Raised Bed" and "Fruit" Gardens.

They are working to ensure that their work on the corner of 8th & Concordia and 9th & Concordia are beautiful gifts to the neighborhood.

The Healing Garden end-results is to have a "WOW factor" when it is completed.  Next week is the kickoff of a NEW facelift development.  They expect 25 volunteers to help "re-arrange" their 8th Street and Concordia site.  It is beginning its next phase of construction.

Richard Kauper, Architect/Landscaper is Dawn's secret to the NEW design.

The Healing Garden centerpiece is a retangle design that has a "Tranquility Pathway" and "Peaceful Walkway" with trellis seating and rose bushes.  In the center of the pathway and walkway square is the Serenity Place.

A special tribute is given to Cancer patients in the Healing Garden - those in treatment and those in remission.

Around the outer areas are "raised beds" with vegetables for the enjoyment of the neighbors.

The garden is meant to provide a place for neighborhood sharing - getting vegetables,  and also a place to sit and chat with neighbors while watching the world go by on I-43.
