Strawberry Fields is a garden memorial in New York City's Central Park. It is dedicated to the memory of John Lennon, and at its center lies a mosaic bearing the word "IMAGINE." This is the title of one of Lennon's most popular songs, which he described as "anti-religious, anti-nationalistic, anti-conventional, anti-capitalistic," and explained that "because it is sugarcoated, it is accepted."
