Denise Kozel, a massage therapist in Franklin Park, Ill., has built a beautiful garden outside her office on North Avenue, the Franklin Park Herald-Journal reports. She enjoys the work and says that it helps to calm people down and help them relax before they have even entered her office for therapy. The garden is 50 ft by 10 ft and has been labor of love for the past four years. The other businesses in the park love the scenic addition and were surprised at first to hear that it was not the city who had undertaken the project but an individual in their own building. Future plans for the garden include matching some of the flowers the city recently put in the median along North Avenue, besides that regular care will continue into the foreseeable future.
