you can’t sit down here, so two tips:

 

 

-- now i don’t usually advocate this behavior, but umm, if anybody partakes of the herb, u might want to do that before you visit -- or even look at this thread for that matter  :laugh:

 

 

-- also, do not plan on visiting when it’s wet & rainy like we did, the tile is hella slippery!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

so this is philadelphia’s quirky magic gardens from the street -- enjoy!  :mrgreen:

and that’s all for the magic gardens --

 

 

in this world of constant corporate whitewashing it’s great to still have local, well supported, interesting outsider art oddities like this place --

 

 

i hope you can get a chance to visit sometime!

I love Magic Gardens. Some of the alleys around that area have some truly impressive mosaic work.

they can tell we're stoned, dude

Magic indeed.
