Gilbert Sister Cities Friendship Garden Mural

The Gilbert Sister Cities Friendship Garden opened in May 2022 at Gilbert Regional Park. The garden is a joint project by Gilbert Sister Cities and the town designed to celebrate Gilbert's relationships with Antrim-Newtownabbey in Northern Ireland and Leshan, China. 

The garden features a 30-foot mural by artist Julia Berryman that symbolizes the three cities coming together through friendship, culture, and long-term relationships. Mural artist Julia Berryman is a Gilbert native and graduate of Mesquite High School. Her parents are of Chinese and English/Irish descent.
