Since 1985, artist and local historian Kirk Farris has been working on
his own to revitalize an historic area of downtown Houston. The focus
of Art & Environmental Architecture is to create an abbreviated form
of a botanical garden creating a lasting transformation of the McKee Street
Bridge/James Bute Park/Frost Town Historic Site as a public sanctuary.
This purpose includes conservancy of nature and history, maintenance of
garden space, and a focus on educational programs serving to enhance peaceful
contemplation and observation of a vibrant urban visitation area.

It is the object of learning, not only to satisfy
the curiosity and perfect the spirits of ordinary men, but also to advance
civilization.
