Salt Lake City, UT – Supporters gathered yesterday to mark the 10-year anniversary since Gilgal Garden officially became a Salt Lake City park. Sandwiched between Victorian homes and a Wonder Bread factory, the half-acre site is filled with stone sculptures and rocks engraved with scripture and poetry, the vision the artist Thomas Child created from 1945 to 1963. KUER's Jennifer Napier-Pearce takes a look the evolution of Utah's secret garden.
