A day of celebrating beloved Houston artist and personality, Cleveland “The Flower Man” Turner (who passed away in December) and a last look at the living work of art he left behind–his home and yard is a grand, vibrant and joyful assemblage located at at 2305 Francis St. in Houston. Sadly, the house will be demolished on Saturday due to high levels of mold. This is your last chance to see the yard-art landmark before it’s leveled.
