we love our hort-ners!
the hort in "hortpark" stands for horticulture, which derives from the Latin hortus meaning a 'garden' space... ok....
a park with it's own driveway and address cool!
here we are at the Horts!
a very little stand alone garden, which I think is quite out of place thou...
prior to Hort park is a small little public garden

the whole structure floor is mainly made from triangular gratings with holes large enough to allow leaves/water to fall through,
