How can you help with the garden?
This garden is the perfect opportunity to come together, work together, and develop relationships as we sacrifice a bit of our time and share our talents and ourselves in this common goal to bring God's beauty to life in our cemetery.
- Even as little as a half hour of time can make a difference
- Every little donation adds up
- Every item helps reduce what we need
- Dedicate your donation, item, time, shrub to a loved one for an extra meaning and a permanent memory
It's not all about the finished task, but also about what we build in ourselves in getting there.
