CLEVELAND, Ohio - Despite the small Cleveland population with Ethiopian ties, the Ethiopian Cultural Garden is one of the more unique showings in the Cleveland Cultural Gardens, and one of the newer installments. “Most gardens put a statue of a famous artist from their country,” says Dr. Carl Robson, founder of the Menilik Hall Foundation, sponsor of the Ethiopian Cultural Garden. Let’s put some artist artwork.”In the garden is a two-sided, multi-tiled mosaic that documents parts of Ethiopian history, including the strongest connection to Cleveland, Lucy. This is part of a series of stories from cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer exploring the Cleveland Cultural Gardens and the ethnic communities each garden represents. “Human beings originated from this place.”The Ethiopian Cultural Garden can be found on Martin Luther King Jr. Drive between Superior and Wade Park avenues.
