The Russian Cultural Gardens

Cleveland Cultural Gardens is the unique phenomenon not only in America but also in the world. We celebrated the 100th Anniversary of the Cultural Gardens in 2016!

The first cultural garden, a Shakespeare Garden, has begun in 1916. The majority of the gardens were built in the 1920s and 1930s with money and labor from the WPA as well as the local ethnic communities. By 1939, there were 18 gardens.

Today, the Cleveland Cultural Gardens include fountains, decorative ironwork, and over 60 sculptures. The 31 different cultural gardens include British, Chinese, Czech, Estonian, Latvian, Armenian,  German, Hebrew, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Polish, and Slovenian gardens, among others. Among the newest gardens there are the Syrian  garden, begun in May  of 2011, and Albanian garden, begun in 2012.
