PROJECT: LABYRINTH: THE GARDEN IS OPEN

GARDENS ARE FOR PEOPLE

Project: Labyrinth
The Mediation and healing garden

Location: PARC Center
Carmel New York 10512
Size: 40' x 40'

Concept: A sanctuary for the clients, visitors and employees of PARC. Designed as an intimate pocket park for relaxation, meditation and a place where people can connect with nature

Teaching programs and events are being developed around seasonal garden activities to give PARC clients a chance to touch, feel, really get their hands dirty.

The The garden will be an example of Xeriscape and organic garden practices combining beauty, good design and earth friendly concepts that naturally complement each other.

Many items for the garden will be repurposed and recycled such as our benches and stools made from reclaimed pilings.

But mostly Project Labyrinth is about people and how some small interaction with nature can change perspectives and heal lives.

THE GARDEN IS OPEN

The garden is open, I hesitate to label it complete because gardens are always a work in progress and we have lots of small details left and yes...always more plants.

For me it has been a terrific process. I was great to see so meet so many of you that volunteered for the project and really meant something. I appreciate the many thanks I have received from PARC and staff but really the thanks goes to Teddi Barry and her staff for bringing me in on the project and allowing me to give something to the PARC community that will continue to give back for years to come. The pleasure was all mine and I loved creating it.

The planting will only continue to get fuller, tighter and more lush as seasons come and go. Below is some photos of our newly planted project...A great start!
