Memorial Garden transforms vacant lots into memory haven
Bev Wotton thanks Sonja, Gloria, Barb and community members for turning unsightly Foxwarren lots into the Foxwarren Memory Garden. Gravel paths, cement-name stones, Veterans and Service Groups plaques, a Sept 11 tribute by Foxwarren School students, petunias, benches, bird houses, a bridge, lighted trees, and a nest book create a lasting memorial.
