Community Garden
A Profound Secret
Funded by Addison Arbor Foundation and
community donors, the Addison Community
Garden, leases garden plots to Addison
residents on an annual basis. Food
donations from the garden are given to the
MetroCrest Services food bank.
Located at the northwest Corner of Arapaho and Addison Roads,
this artwork was commissioned by the Arbor Foundation and
installed in 2015. “A Profound Secret” uses corten steel and
pieces from the original cotton gin facility in Addison. The cotton
gin, which was built in 1902, was located about 150 yards south
of the installation. The title of the piece comes from a passage in
a letter written by Eli Whitney, developer of the cotton gin, to his
father, asking him to keep “a profound secret” until a patent was
secured for the design.
