Facts To Know When Concerning Memorial Gardens

Memorial gardens are a perfect way to honor lost loved ones. They are beautiful places to sit and reflect, and remember those who have passed on to the next world. Be sure to take the time to plan and consider the space before beginning.

Give some consideration to the things the person being honored loved, and incorporate them into the garden. The space can be as large or small as people want. Be sure to consider cost. A lovely small area will likely be much nicer than a large neglected one.

Make sure there are places for people to sit. This will encourage people to stay for a while and reflect. This is important for the elderly, and/or those who have difficulty standing for long periods of time. Colors, scents, and specific flowers that the deceased loved can be incorporated into the theme, or even made the main theme of the garden. A person who loved roses may have a garden filled with many different variety of roses. A lifetime military man or woman may be honored with a space filled with flowers that represent the colors of their flag. There are endless themes that may be created in order to personalize the space.

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.

Make sure there is a source of water nearby. Otherwise maintaining plants will require water to be brought in from outside. This may result in a loss of many plants, especially during warmer seasons. Encourage visitors to take clippings as a reminder of the lost loved one. How lovely it is to have a living plant around the house or yard in tribute to someone we love but have lost.

Visit as often as possible and be sure to take good care of the space. Mow and prune regularly and prepare to have a sacred space that is a joy to all visitors.
