About the Reading Garden:
The plan is to create a 1500 square foot Reading Garden west of the Gulfport Public Library's atrium. The garden will be a place for outside reading, studying, writing and meditation. It will also serve as a spot for poetry and book readings as well as social gatherings and celebrations.
