Beer garden opens on property destroyed during George Floyd protests
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A new family-friendly hang-out spot is open in Rittenhouse Square. A ribbon was cut on the Walnut Garden on Walnut Street Wednesday.
The beer and cocktail garden occupies a property where a fire destroyed several buildings during the 2020 George Floyd protests.
The garden features art from upcycled shipping containers, wooden pallets, and broken glass to "create a truly unique and stylish atmosphere."
There is also a children's garden with a climbing structure shaped like a Jeep and an ice cream stand.
Community leaders hope that Walnut Garden becomes the perfect gathering place for residents and visitors to the neighborhood.
