“Mourning is love with no place to go”.

Garden memorial, or memorial garden?
There’s a difference, you know. With a garden memorial, you add a memorial accent to an already existing garden, like a bench, wind chimes or engraved memory stones. A garden Memorial is often engraved with the loved ones name or personalized in some way.
But a memorial garden involves the planning and implementation of a whole new garden concept. You conceptualize and create a new memorial garden in honor of your lost loved one.
Either project would provide comfort and a useful outlet for your “grief energy”, as well as beautify your property. There’s just something soothing about green, growing plants that you will likely find helpful during your hard days of bereavement. Your garden will act as a sort of monument or altar to honor your beloved one. Life goes on, despite the fact that your loved one has departed.
If you don’t have an available spot in your own yard, check nearby parks or even a golf course the deceased favored. Perhaps their place of work might be willing to provide a spot for your tribute. Ask if you can donate a memorial bench in a shady spot or plant a memorial tree on the site. Hold a simple memorial ceremony at the time of installation or the tree planting.
