Ramat Gan city symbol
Garden City In 1914, at the initiative of Dr. Yehuda Leib Matmon, director of the Herzliya Gymnasium, began to organize the "Garden City" association. A group of people, residents of Tel Aviv, who were massacred during the accelerated construction process that was taking place in Tel Aviv at the time and sought to establish a different settlement framework.
The Associations committee drafted a policy to ensure the rural character of the community. The inspiration and idea for a lifestyle - a small city and many gardens, the English philosopher Ebenezer Howard conceived.
In 1928, the first garden, "King Georges Garden", was planted in the city center. When the state was founded, its name was changed to King Davids Garden. HaYeled Boulevard was the natural connection to Rambam Square.
In 1936, the cornerstone was laid for the garden of Abraham. Looking up from the panoramic side of the garden will identify how the avenue of heroes at the back of the west bank is supposed to connect with King Davids garden.
In 1938, the Third Garden, the Presidents Garden, was later inaugurated the Shaul Garden (by the poet Shaul Tchernichovsky) or nicknamed "The Monkey Garden."
"Garden City" fulfilled its mission. Ramat Gan won the title - the Garden City, and for good reason. In the first four decades since the foundation stone, dozens of gardens have been planted there. Ramat-Gan kept its character, variety of trees and its grassy gardens.
Krinitzis vision hit deep roots.
"It is with great satisfaction that we note that our city of Ramat Gan is at the forefront of its professional achievements and the extent of its ever-growing flora life.
With great efforts we have succeeded in fertilizing our lands which were poor and barren; Now there are growing and fragrant pine groves, which serve as a backbone and foundation for all deciduous gardens."
Moshe Kivshani, City Gardener, Planting Department Manager.
