Grand Bahama Island - If you recently visited the Garden of the Groves you might have thought you were in South Beach or New York City's Central Park. You would be seeing the newest edition to the Garden, a Pedicab. What's a Pedi Cab? Well, it looks like a large tricycle that can carry up to three passengers.
Cindy Wilson, a native of Grand Bahama and Jerry Hill were enjoying another one of those popular musical events at the Labyrinth at the Garden of the Groves. It had been a moving concert given by very talented local performers who had donated their talents in aid of the Humane Society of Grand Bahama. After the performance Cindy and Jerry were walking to the open-air restaurant at the Garden. They noticed several elderly ladies sitting on one of the many park benches. As it turned out they had difficulty walking the paths and thus could not enjoy the full beauty of the Garden.
Cindy and Jerry talked about this over dinner and thought how many people might be in the same situation and not be able to fully enjoy the Garden. They wanted to make sure that everybody would be able to visit this facility that so many people had worked so hard for to restore after three major hurricanes. Cindy and Jerry came up with the Pedicab solution that was not only practical but would also fit in with the environmentally friendly concept of the Garden of the Groves. Now, thanks to Cindy's and Jerry's generosity the Garden has a Pedicab of its very own.
So please stop by and visit the Garden and take your picture in Grand Bahama's first Pedicab. And if you feel the walk might be difficult, the friendly, knowledgeable staff will be happy to give you a tour through the Garden.
