The Garden of Hope & Remembrance
In a quiet corner of Christofaro Park, away from the tennis courts and
basketball courts, the Garden of Hope & Remembrance is being
constructed. Volunteers have been instrumental in constructing the
foundation, a sitting wall, and plantings. The garden will feature boxwoods,
azaleas, hydrangeas, and many beds with flowers that have been selected
for blooms throughout the seasons. A sculpture is also planned for
the garden as. Katie was an artist, and the family hopes some of
Narragansett's young artists will provide some ideas and/or proposals.
So far, all of the labor and materials have been donated, but to
complete the park. The Foundation can't expect the unlimited support to
continue, however. So, it's selling bricks to go on the facing of the
sitting wall and on a path leading to the garden's more formal section.
The bricks are $50 each and contain up to three lines of text, with a
maximum of 14 characters per line, including spaces.
