Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens
Small details characterize Zagar's Magic Gardens Creation
Philadelphia’s South Street is a well known destination for visitors interested in exploring a hip, urban, funky spot at any hour of the day. One of our favorite destinations is Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, a fantastical creation by an iconic artistic figure in the Philadelphia community, Isaiah Zagar. Click here to view our photos taken during recent visit to the garden. Zagar’s works can be found throughout the city and beyond.
Many of the mirrored mosaic murals can be seen strolling South Street and the narrow allies of the Bella Vista neighborhood. The murals are intricate reflections of his artistic influences and vision designed to reflect beauty in chaos. Philadelphia’s Magic Gardens, the house that Zagar built, is open for all to explore every day of the week for a small fee to support the non-profit organization that has been founded to preserve his works and sponsor community artistic educational activities.
