»An otherwise inaccessible location

The oddly-placed Frank Curto Park along Bigelow Boulevard in Pittsburgh ("put it in H!") always made me wonder: who was this poor fellow, that the city would feel an obligation to honor him, but to do so in a slipshod way? Create a narrow park along a busy highway on a bluff over the train tracks, and expect the public to use it?

The STUDIO for Creative Inquiry found a suitable use for the park: installing an Art Garden. Visitors can contribute their own plants to the garden, like a magic penny from the Malvina Reynolds song. Fitting, as Frank Curto was the curator of Phipps Conservatory during the 1970s.
