On arrival you enter into Summer. In amongst the expanse of lawn are beautiful flowers, a pond with fountain, and many areas to sit or explore. Walk through the gate into Autumn/Fall and experience the rich copper tones so familiar at that time of the year. Through another gate you enter into Winter with a light covering of snow, gentle snowfall and frosty leaves. Finally we pass into Spring - for renewal. Such beautiful shades and an open vista to explore.  In the main entrace area, adjacent to Summer there are 3 boards where you can place a photograph of your loved one. However, you will also find a large board on which to place a photograph of your loved one in each of the other gardens if you feel an affinity with that particular season over another. Touch the board for an explanation on how to do that. If you would like you can also light a candle. After exploring, take the time to sit a while and enjoy the peace and to remember those you have lost or those who have won their battle.
