Peace, Healing and Wholeness through Nature

11/09/2026

Recently, our founder, Wendy got to go on a dream trip to see Oxford botanical Gardens, the Gardens at Versailles and Monet's Gardens at Giverny.

Surprisingly after seeing the panels of Water Lilies in the Musée de l'Orangerie, she learned Claude Monet designed his monumental Water Lilies (Nymphéas) murals specifically as a space for quiet contemplation and peaceful meditation. There were two huge oval rooms with curved panels of water Lilly paintings that took your breath away in person. And to sit in stillness and watch your breath was a surreal moment.

Here are some pictures from the trip. Our pictures of the actual meditation rooms don't do them justice. So we left a picture of one of his other water lilies painting instead. 💐

HELP! We need volunteers to plant thousands of bulbs! We ordered so many beautiful bulbs like daffodils, foxtail lilies, alliums, lilies and more! We can't wait to see what comes next spring and summer!

Our vendor ships the bulbs... when they want to ship the bulbs!!!
So it seems to be too hot even at the end of October! Thanks global warming. We hope to receive them in November - the soil will be warm enough to dig.

Sign up with this link or QR code to join a text notification and we will try to email the group once we have our dates! Tentatively we hope that Saturdays at 9 am on November 7th and 14th will be enough. Fingers crossed we get our bulbs in that time!

Thanks to Ace Hardware in Westmont for providing trowels and gloves for our volunteers!

You gave us the supplies about two years ago with some much needed topsoil. We are still using them!

This site was a grass field and our community came out and built this reflective spot along with Rob Thuener of Artiscapes (our designer and volunteer captain), Amazing Tree (labyrinth, paths, boulders) and Mark Gardner (native plant advisor, meadow and maintenance) and Soulshine Garden and Home (our first installation helpers and volunteers).

Spend your Saturday morning this weekend giving back to the community with a clean up & service fair at the Collingswood Meditation Garden from 10 AM to 12 PM.
