Come out and see the progress on the Hospice Garden Fountain!

You have to come out and see the progress that has been made on the fountain! Lyndon has been working very hard and making great progress. He is still placing stone but there is water in it and we are near to getting it started up.

I have attached several pictures showing the construction in progess. As you can see, Susan chose the yellow and gray stone to match the existing chimney on the building. It was a great choice and is in keeping with the natural setting of the lodge.

If you have a chance come out and see it in person.

Visitors and Residents looking forward to garden

The fountain construction is attracting attention from the residents, visitors and employees of Heartwood. The word is getting out and they are stopping by to check on the progress.

This is just a wonderful location that was chosen for the lodge. It is very heartening to see how many visitors there have been and how both the residents and visitors enjoy the natural setting. It is just great to see the residents/visitors taking a stroll around the grounds and stopping by to talk with us about the garden project. Installing the fountain and garden in the hospice area as well as the gardens in the main courtyard area should provide a calming and uplifting experience for those at the lodge. I know my spirits always rise when I'm able to commune with nature.

Welcome to our new blog

good luck to all who want to post on this site. looking forward to getting all kinds of new ideas.

Mickey and I have been working very hard (and having lots of fun) learning how to use SmartDraw's landscape design software as part of the Hospice Garden design. Once you have a layout set up in the program you can drag and drop different landscape elements into place. This includes hardscape items such as patios, sidewalks or water features in addition to trees, shrubs, and plant groupings.

We have taken our hand drawn layout of the Hospice Garden area and input this information into the SmartDraw program. We now have a to-scale layout of the Hospice Garden with the proposed hardscape elements in place. Take a look at the layout above and tell us what you think. If you'd like a larger copy of the layout instead of this web-sized version, email myself or Mickey to request one. We'd love to have your comments.
