Walking up on the garden for the first time, visitors might have thought they were invading a person’s side yard. There was no house around, but plenty of unique people, plants and pop art scattered about.
An old wire fence housed beads and skulls and trinkets. A strange red podded vine with yellow flowers and red centers loomed like an alien pod invader oozing blood. It turned out to be a Jamaican Sorrel plant and the red pods could be boiled down to make tea or a cranberry-like drink that a Jamaican couple said was often served with alcohol for Christmas.

Jane Fishman, a Savannah newspaper columnist and founder of the garden plot, which barely covers forty feet of space, was not sure which part of the plant was used to make indigo dye (according to a web search, the whole plant is used, but the dye can only be extracted by adding things to the plant and letting it ferment).
