The Bernice Garden, completed in 2011 in downtown Little Rock, is a tribute to the historical significance of the surrounding South Main Street (SoMa) community. The garden was named for its red brick neighbor, the Bernice Building, constructed in the early 1900’s. Reclaimed wood from farms in Eastern Arkansas reinforces the pavilion’s structure as well as the owner’s commitment to history and environmental stewardship. The garden space features an open-air sculpture gallery filled with local Arkansas artists’ work.
