Lewis Davis ’ Parking Lot Garden Amazes and Delights
By Crystal Hale, Director Orange County Dept. of Social Services
Lewis Davis is an Orange County Public Works employee who works in the Sedwick Building. In addition to consistently keeping that working environment safe and clean, Lewis quietly puts daily smiles on everyone's face by making morning coffee, greeting employees and clients, and spreading joy to all who cross his path. Each spring, Lewis plants a spectacular garden by utilizing the end caps in the parking lot. He grows watermelon, cucumbers, zucchini, yellow squash, tomatoes, and onions. Lewis tends to the garden with great care before and after work and shares all of his harvest with folks in that building and throughout. His garden always attracts a great deal of attention and feeds many hungry appetites, but it's the love and care that Lewis puts into this fresh and natural treasure that feeds the soul.
