he Southfield City Centre kicked off its rock snake garden painting party at the August 14th Eat to the Beat. Afternoon artists (and artists in training) painted rocks that will form our growing rock snake garden.
“Rock snake gardens not only bring people together for a fun, creative experience, they can also create healthy habitats for various types of wildlife,” says Terry Croad, AICP, ASLA, City of Southfield Director of Planning.
For more information about how you can contribute your artistic talents to the rock snake garden, call the Planning Department at 248-796-4150.
In the meantime, here’s what inspired just a few of our rock snake painters:
