A year after announcing the reopening of Jesuit Garden<\/a>, also known as the Geitaoi Garden, the public space is now buzzing with activity and community life. Want to join in on the fun? Here’s what to expect.<\/p>

<\/p>

This initiative was spearheaded by Liqaa, a project started by neighborhood residents. They wanted to breathe new life into the green space and transform it into a welcoming hub for everyone.<\/p>

The Restoration of Jesuit Garden<\/h3>

The restoration was a joint effort by Al Sabil Library, Beit Al Baraka Association, and local residents. They gave the garden a full makeover by renewing pathways and flooring, restoring fountains, and planting new trees.<\/p>

<\/p>

The historic surroundings of the old church were preserved, and the playground was renovated for children\u2019s safety. The project aimed to create a clean, safe, and inclusive space for everyone, including people with disabilities.<\/p>

Most activities in the garden are free and open to the public, though some events charge a small fee to support the initiative. <\/p>
