**LATEST UPDATE - 2/16/12**
The Freedom Garden is padlocked and in disrepair. Its future remains in limbo pending the outcome of bankruptcy court proceedings. The carvings still remain but sadly overgrown and barely visible from outside the fence.

**IMPORTANT UPDATE - 9/18/10**
The Spirit of Freedom Garden where these sculptures are located is currently locked up.
