Memorial in the Garden - Heart and Tear Shaped Flower Beds

If you have a special person or pet you want to honor or remember, here is a design that I did in my garden. I made a heart design and a tear design by digging up the grass and making a flower garden and a shrub garden to honor someone special. It is in the shape of a heart and has a hemlock tree planted in it for the special person. Also I planted roses and flowers in the tear shape garden when I was sad. This also helps to deal with your sadness. You also have somewhere you can go and meditate.

Is there a picture anywhere of this garden?

I really like your idea, I have recently lost my Dad & received many plants at the memorial.
Do you have any pictures?

My comment is similar to the first one.Four years ago,we had to put out beloved Terripoo down .She was almost sixteen years old.We buried her in our flower garden because she was always beside us when we were gardening.She is always with us.We placed a little statue of her there along side a little solar light.We miss her so but knowing she is there is a comfort to us.

That is a wonderful Idea! I lost one of my dearest dogs last fall and I wanted to do something special this spring as a remembrance. I'm also thinking about getting a dog statue to place in the flower bed as well.
