Basics To Notice When Building Gardens Of Memory

Memorial gardens make wonderful tributes to loved ones who have passed away. This type of a garden allows family members and friends to have a place to go and reflect and heal. Be sure to take time and plan in advance in order to create the best space possible.

Consider the life of the person being memorialized and ask yourself a few questions about their favorite things. Consider how much space is available and how it will be used. Gardens can be as large or as small as space and funds will allow.

Think about and plan for people's comfort. Make sure there is a place to sit and think. Benches are a popular choice. Some may even consider picnic tables or swings, depending on their personal preference. Make sure the deceased is represented in what is planted. If Grandpa loved irises, be sure there are lots of irises in the garden and everyone will think about him as soon as they arrive at the park. This is a great way to bring people together into conversation about the loved one who has passed. This can bring about healing.

Always plant the largest plants towards the back and the shortest to the front, as with any garden. This will create a professional and pleasant place that is attractive and inviting.

Take care of the garden. Do not allow it to go into disrepair. Consider available water and plant accordingly. Request and accept help from friends and relatives and suggest they take clippings to remind them of their loved one.

Be sure to visit often and keep up with mowing, planting, and pruning. Encourage friends and family to visit and add to the garden if they want to. This is sure to be a place everyone loves and will enjoy visiting often.
