Flora Memorial Garden

A community project to honor those we love.

 

A group of volunteers are planning the construction of the memorial garden to be located at the corner of Main and Division Streets on Flora United Methodist Church property.

Designed and landscaped to be a very peacefuland tranquil setting, the garden will have a seat wall surrounding it with two entrances. One end will contain a water fountain consisting of three vertical rocks with water trickling out of the top. The other end will consist of an octagon shaped gazebo with limestone columns. Engraved paving bricks will form the shape of a Celtic cross around the water feature.

The garden will offer a place to honor family and friends whose faith and love have touched our hearts and blessed our lives. Engraved bricks may be purchased to commemmorate their legacy; veterans, clergy, firefighters, law enforcements, EMTs, community members family, friends and others will be remembered here. The garden will continue the legacy with more engraved bricks being added for many years to come.

Our hope is that the garden will become a special place where people can pause, contemplate and remember the lives of those who have gone before. The garden is also designed to provide a space to host Bible Studies, special events and celebrations.

This project, estimated at $150,000, will need many donors to support the cost of construction. Prayerfully consider your level of financial support for the Flora Memorial Garden Fund. You may order as many paving bricks as you wish for $100 each.
