Riverside Gardens
A park by the river, with flower beds, a pond and a shady pavilion.
Twenty nine homes moved together to make room for these gardens, and everyone who lived in them holds the Made way honour.
Gardens by water are one of the oldest pleasures of town life. Kings in Mesopotamia boasted of gardens and orchards watered by canals from the rivers.
Ever wonder?
Were the Hanging Gardens of Babylon real?
Nobody knows for sure. No Babylonian text describes them, and some historians think the famous gardens were really at Nineveh, built for the Assyrian king Sennacherib.
