About this Event
Supported by philanthropists and health reformers, they became horticultural jewels in the crown of local communities, with fine tree collections, lakes, shelters , sports facilities and bandstands. Letta Jones explores how critical open space was considered for healthy lives then, and how that resonates for us now.
