Kahlil Gibran Memorial Garden, Memorial garden in Woodley Park, Washington, D.C., United States.
The garden features a bronze sculpture of Kahlil Gibran by Gordon Kray, surrounded by a star-shaped fountain and limestone benches within Woodland-Normanstone Park.
President George H. W. Bush dedicated the memorial garden on May 24, 1991, marking the first monument to an Arab-American on federal land in Washington, D.C.
Limestone benches throughout the garden display engraved quotes from Gibran's literary works, including selections from his renowned book 'The Prophet'.
Visitors can find non-reserved parking spaces along the brick wall at the British Embassy's right boundary and access the garden via a crosswalk.
The memorial garden spans two acres across from the British Embassy, requiring visitors to cross a footbridge decorated with doves to reach the main area.
