Stonehenge in Whittier?


No, it's the Whittier Clinic stormwater management landscaping--it receives rain water from the parking lot and includes native plants around the stones.  Watch'em bloom throughout the summer.   The Clinic resides between Nicollet, Blaisdell, and 28th and 29th Streets.

Tryg Hansen is the landscape designer for the Whittier Clinic site.

I'm impressed with the Whittier Clinic. (So much nicer than the meat-packing plant that used to be there, remember that?)
This even manages to make the Car Wash mural look pretty!

Yes, the Clinic is quite an improvement. They were very responsive the the Whittier design guidelines, which includes sustainable ecology design principles.
