More than 100 primarily religious concrete sculptures densely pack the narrow, bayouside property. The sculptures are a profound mixture of Biblical reference, Cajun colors, and the evident pain and struggle of the artist's life.
The most prominent piece is a 45-foot-tall lighthouse, composed of 7,000 bricks, with figures clinging to the outside: cowboys, soldiers, angels, God and Hill himself.

Kenny Hill worked on the Garden from 1990 to 2000. He never explained why he built it, and then he became upset for some reason and disappeared, never to return.
