Central Park

Barrett Fountain

Sherry Felix4 Comments

This fountain honors children’s book author Frances Eliza Hodgson Burnett (1849-1924). The Conservatory Garden, which reopened to the public in 1937, was chosen as the perfect site for this memorial erected by Friends of Burnett. The reclining boy playing the flute and a young girl holding the bowl may represent Mary and Dickon, the main characters in The Secret Garden. The bowl is a functioning birdbath where small birds drink.

These two are my favorites from May 16, 2019 in Central Park because of the adorable little bird, soft colors and composition.
