The Mourning Gardens--Mid-July 2011

Sherry's Mourning Garden

Laurie's Mourning Garden

John's Mourning Gardens

The Memorial Mourning Gardens were begun in Spring 2004 after the death of John and added to after the deaths of Sherry and Laurie--all cousins who died in their early to late 40's.

Matt began moving dirt and rocks and that was the beginning.  Considering the gardens grow under the shade of large pine trees and over the pine tree roots and are also the delicacy of the roving deer, rabbits, and squirrels and the fact that they get very little sun, they are doing quite well.  Plus there is only about a four month growing season.  The lilies are just beginning to bloom and the daffodils are already gone for the season.
