Thank you for the garden!  It really lifted my spirits!

It is nice to be able to step away from the beeping machines, wires crossing and constant watching and sit in the garden.  Listening to the water, smelling the herbs, watching the birds helps restore a little bit of balance lost here.  Thank you for this beautiful escape for a bit.

The garden was peaceful and soothing during my stay (bed rest).

Wonderful garden.  Waiting for Daddy to finish PT (Physical Therapy).

Love all the plants.  We come and visit often.  My girls love this place.

Thank you for such a beautiful place.  It brings great calm amidst the storms of life.  

Our son Jacob loves the garden.  He loves all the silly animals, especially the cow and turtles. His baby brother is having surgery today so it was a nice treat while we waited.
