Meditation Garden

The Meditation Garden is open to people of all faiths. It was designed by Gordon Hayward, a landscape designer, who has written several books on garden design and is a presenter at various New England Garden shows.

Donations which made this garden possible were given by members and friends of St Paul's in memory and celebration of people who touched their lives.

The parish of St Paul on Sunday, October 17, 2004 dedicated and celebrated this garden at a service of Holy Eucharist and dedication. The Rev. Dr. Maureen Kemeza, rector, was the preacher and celebrant. Using an aspergill, made of yellow-orange fall leaves gathered by the children, she sprinkled holy water on the altar which was created from a piece of 400,000,000 year old schist as the congregation prayed.

You are welcome at any time to visit The Meditation Garden.
