was officially added to the Cleveland Cultural Gardens on Sunday, marking the first Hispanic or Latin culture to do so in the garden’s nearly 100-year history.
Moreno, born in Bogota, Colombia, offered remarks during the ceremony and congratulated the group on accomplishing their vision. He recalled a meeting six years ago when members of the Ohio Colombian Foundation visited his car dealership and spoke to him about building the garden. Lori Ashyk, executive director of the Cleveland Cultural Gardens, welcomed the dedication of the history-making new garden.
Some delays came during COVID-19 when it was difficult to fundraise from the Colombian community. But now Cerquera says he is happy to show the community what they have been working towards. The Cleveland Cultural Gardens represent the different waves of immigration patterns throughout Cleveland’s history. The first Hispanic and Latin garden indicates the growing population from those countries and how important Cleveland is for new immigration groups.
