Memorial Butterfly Garden
The Retreat at Silver Springs is holy ground for countless people who have come here seeking an experience with God and have found God's presence, peace, grace, mercy, and love. We are excited to announce a new project that will provide a garden for memorials, meditation, prayers, and enjoying God's amazing creation.
Just imagine: it is 50 feet wide and 40 feet deep - between the Faith Pavilion and the edge of the wetlands - surrounded by a 6 foot fence - walking paths - climbing flowers - water features - benches - plants needed for food and the transformation from eggs to caterpillars to butterflies - all surrounded by a 6 foot fence! It's a beautiful dream that has been started and needs your support to complete!
The old phrase, "if you build it they will come" has certainly come true in our new Memorial Butterfly Garden. We have hummingbirds, butterflies, bees and wasps (important pollinators) and baby butterflies we generally call "caterpillars." It's truly an exciting time!
You can honor someone with your gift to this amazing new garden. Donations will be recognized in the garden along with the names of those honored.
