Something New Grows Here is a 12 FT in diameter pebble mosaic created with 125 community members during the summer of 2017. The mosaic design draws inspiration from a community-engaged artistic process, patterns found in nature, and locally rooted stories about the Stonegate-Parklawn neighbourhood, its communities, and Bell Manor Park.
