Washington Street East/ Sidney Avenue | The Living AIDS Memorial Garden |
since 1 December 1998 unknown |
Day of Service
Master Gardeners were involved in two Day of Service projects today. The biggest was the Living AIDS Memorial Garden near the Capitol. The beautiful garden exists as a memorial to those who have passed on from AIDS. Memorial bricks line the walks and gardens. The garden itself is a monument to creativity and determination – the soil in which the garden grows is only about 12″ deep in places and it sits on asphalt and debris. Huge trees and plants flourish and create a secret garden of serenity. Master Gardeners helped weed, prune and plant flowers.
