Ever think of having a memory garden to some loved 
one gone? A choice spot, a bit apart, planted with the 
flowers they most liked. Or why not some such to those 
living? Ones side by side for instance, to Mother and 
Father? It has a way of making your garden become a 
delightfully personal spot.
