That's the Airside Garden at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport, smack by the runway. Feel free to walk around and explore it, because Google was nice enough to put the whole thing on Streetview. Meanwhile, here's a view from above in which you can see this lovely little oasis tucked in there snug between the terminal and the runway, which means it's a good place to hang out and watch the planes come and go.
I had no idea this thing existed until I flew to Florida and back earlier this month and saw signs in the terminal about it. It's worth noting that the terminal itself also features fountains and statues, which are kind of a trend all across Greenville and Spartanburg, if you think about it... These are a pair of cities that adore a good fountain, statue, or both, and both cities are littered with them both.
However, discovering this little garden makes me wonder what sort of exquisite, charming, weird, or interesting things are tucked away off the beaten path in your city.

Is this inside the secured area of the airport? As someone who has spent an obscene amount of time stuck in airport terminals, I would love it if more of them had outdoor access from inside the airport's secured area.
The Delta Sky Club in JFK's Terminal 4 has an outdoor patio, but it's only accessible to people with access to the club. Per Delta's website there is also one in ATL, but I haven't personally used that one.
