Another hot day of planting at Tranquility Garden! We spent several more hours today working on Tranquility Garden, a memorial garden in honor of deceased Oak Ridge Lions Club members.
This garden will also have an area and opportunity for the general public to honor a loved one of their own. Honor Trees and Honor Wind Chimes will be available to be selected from a specified list of the landscape plan for this project.
The Honor Trees will be planted to the left and right of the main walkway area. The Honor Wind Chimes will be hung in the existing tree line behind the walkway.
This project is gaining momentum and interest from many. The foundation planting should mostly be in by mid September. A few Honor Trees should follow shortly after. The natural slab/stone benches should be in by mid September as well.
Anyone interested in honoring a deceased loved one through this program, can email me at: [email protected]. If you would just like to make a donation for the project, we are still setting up a method to do that. In the meantime, you can drop off a check at Oak Ridge Town Hall, with Tranquility Garden Project - Attention: Lion Danny marked on the envelope.
Any amount is appreciated, and will go a long way in helping to honor people in the community who have served others, as well as your own special loved one.
Regards,
Danny R Yanusz
Oak Ridge Lions Club
