In support of Saint Bonaventure families who have lost a child in early pregnancy, stillbirth, SIDS, or infancy, we invite members of our community who have lost a baby in early pregnancy, stillbirth, newborn death or SIDS to put a solar light and to plant a surrounding 12”-15” ring of annual flowers in honor of their loved one. Participant registrations and plantings take place in May, the week preceding the garden blessing service on the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. Volunteers maintain the garden throughout the growing season (May-October).
