Basics You Should Expect When Considering Commemorative Gardens

Memorial gardens make wonderful tributes to loved ones who have passed away. This type of a garden allows family members and friends to have a place to go and reflect and heal. Be sure to take time and plan in advance in order to create the best space possible.

Think about the things that were important to the person who has passed. Consider their favorite colors, scents, flowers, and even hobbies. The more that is added into the space based on this, the more it will make people remember them. The garden can be huge or tiny and it makes no difference. Plan according to available space and budget.

Consider a place for people to sit. A nice bench or variety of benches will make an excellent choice. Including the favorite flowers and colors in this garden is a great way to remind people of their loved one. Most people associate certain smells with fond memories. If "grandma" for example, always had roses on the kitchen table, roses are sure to remind Grandma's loved ones of her. Including them in the garden is truly a wonderful idea.

Remember when planting to follow the basic rules of tallest plants in the back, and shortest in the front. This will help to create a professional looking space that is inviting and comfortable.

Take care of the garden. Do not allow it to go into disrepair. Consider available water and plant accordingly. Request and accept help from friends and relatives and suggest they take clippings to remind them of their loved one.

Be sure to visit often and keep up with mowing, planting, and pruning. Encourage friends and family to visit and add to the garden if they want to. This is sure to be a place everyone loves and will enjoy visiting often.
