September 1, 2014 -- Salt Lake City, Utah. When I was a teenager Giglal Gardens was a mysterious haunt that was shrouded in mystery. The legend a creepy old man who was going crazy because the Mormons persecuted him built a haunted lot of stone... The reality of Gilgal Gardens is something completely different and beautiful.
In 2000 the city of Salt Lake opened Gilgal Gardens to the public and in 2001 the Salt Lake Master Gardeners took care taking responsibilities of the peaceful gardens over.
So what is Gilgal Gardens? In 1947, Thomas Child began expressing his deep held religious beliefs in stone. Child who had been a masonry contractor and Bishop of the Salt Lake 10th LDS Ward conceived in he mind and created in his yard a memorial to his testimony.
There is a beautiful peace in the gardens and scriptures and symbols reveal truth and reflection in solitude.
