Visitors in the Garden
“Descending the stone steps to the garden, I am at once transported to a place of quiet beauty, delicate butterflies and brilliant blooms. Reading a favorite book on a simple bench by the fountain, the soothing sound of cascading water lulls me into a state of peace and tranquility. It is well with my soul. I encourage everyone to take a break from technology and the busy, chaotic world to experience this restorative oasis, available to us all.”
– Beth Condict, frequent visitor
A mother with her 6 year-old son visited every nook and cranny of the Garden during the 30 minutes they were there. She said, “I come here with my son because he loves identifying colors in the Garden. We come 3 or 4 times each summer, and I ask him to describe what he sees. He is energized and even today, early spring, he found colors and correctly identified those colors. And when all the flowers and shrubs are in bloom in some weeks from now, he will keep a count of how many different colors he can see on just one visit.”
“Living at Woodcrest, I often went to the Garden where I had volunteered for many years. I was losing my sight and could not differentiate individual flowers but I was filled with joy to see the colors blending together. It brought beauty into my day.”
