Memorial Garden?

CapeHeart

Hello

A few years back, a number of us got together to put in raise gardening beds for person's with mobility issues in our community garden. One friend from the group has often brought to our attension how wonderful it would be to have a Memorial Garden (this garden would be accessible too). Since we would need water he was thinking too, it could be located in our community garden space - maybe near the raises beds we help maintain. I also mentioned to him to apply the KISS rule in establishing this Memorial Garden. He felt a notice could be given to local churches and funeral directors in case family or friends would like to donate a plant in memory of their loved one(s).

Has anyone put in a Memorial Garden? If so what were the pros and cons? Where is it located? Who maintains it? Does it have a fountain or statue? Memorial Bricks? How did you let the members of your community know its there? Benches for people to sit?

Thanks

Chantel
