Milwaukee Garden District

Thank you to our community for the strong support!

The Airway Theatre founded by Eugene Goderski in 1949. Inspired by his time as an army airman stationed in the South Pacific.

The Garden District Neighborhood Association was among the winners at the City of Milwaukee’s 2024 Mayor’s Design Awards.

If you travel on Howell Avenue through the neighborhoods of Tippecanoe and Town of Lake you might recall that for decades a building that is now home to Wioletta’s Polish Market, was once a hardware store named Tippecanoe True Value.

A custom street sign now welcomes visitors to the Garden District one side, and Witkowski Way on the other. This sign perfectly sums at what has become Terry’s signature project. The Garden District was built the “Witkowski Way,” with lots of help from a bunch of folks who share Terry’s love for community.

Six pieces of artwork of vegetables and flowers have been placed around the Simon Garden’s block and two more of flowers are still to appear. 

A new (but old) sign appeared at 6th and Norwich in the Gardens. It says “Simon’s Gardens” a salute to both Bryan Simon and his brother Mark.
