It is located in the middle of 2500 block of N. Warnock Street in the heart of the Village. If one walks through Angel Alley, one will come to the Magical Garden from the back entrance guarded by two 9' tall angels elaborately mosaicked by Village teens. The Garden was built between 1992 - 95.

This abandoned land once contained six row homes that came to dilapidation and eventually were demolished by the City and buried underground. It gradually became a dumping site for trash, debris and human waste. So when we succeeded in constructing a garden on this site, we named it Magical Garden because the transformation of the place felt truly magical and momentous. The Garden also contains a colorful 55' x 18' tiled mural containing large, fancifully shaped flowers, stylized bird, fish and insect life under the penetrating sunlight. Lily Yeh designed, produced the tiles; James Maxton and the Village construction crew installed them onto the wall.

The Village crew constructed the garden with mostly recycled materials like stone slabs and irregular concrete pieces. We decorated the wet cement poured between slabs and concrete pieces with mosaic tiles with a refreshing and delightful result. Again Philadelphia Green provided us with planting materials and technical support. This garden became a training ground of the Village teen urban greening program.
