Exploring Israel - Tevat Noah Garden

---

Hello and welcome to the "Exploring Israel" series. I enjoy exploring my country by photowalking and photocycling¹

Today I want to share with you one of the story gardens I found in my hometown of Holon.

This garden is located in the southern part of the town. It is called "Tevat Noah garden" which translates to "Noah's Ark garden". If you want to know more about the Noah's Ark visit Wikipedia.

At the entrance of the garden we find an inscription stone.

^{The inscription read: Noah's Ark garden based on the bible stories for children by Meir Shelo

The first thing we notice are six giant grass sculptures of four legged animals heading in one direction.

We follow the animals to find where are they heading. As we continue to walk we see children's playground and the ark embedded in the wall. As in the story the grass animals are headed into the ark.

We continue to walk and explore the garden.
