I am thrilled to let you know The Cancer Garden of Hope, a permanent living memorial to all those who have been touched by any form of cancer, will be planted on Boston’s City Hall Plaza in the Spring of 2010.
This handicapped accessible healing garden will be designed by Cog Design with flowers, trees and places to sit. It will feature 3,000 engraved 4” x 8” brick pavers and 8” x 8” marble plaques with personal messages. Bricks can be purchased for $100 each while plaques are $1,000 each. A duplicate brick with a felt backing and easel can be ordered for an additional $75. Identical plaques with felt backs and stands are also available for an additional $500. These replica bricks and plaques make lovely holiday gifts for friends and loved ones to cherish.
Hope in Bloom is pleased to be part of this initiative and will receive half of any order (less the cost of each brick and plaque) placed through our link or if Hope in Bloom is selected on The Cancer Garden of Hope site or on your order form, if paying by check. The balance covers upkeep for The Cancer Garden of Hope.
Susan Zuker and her two sons, Jonathan and Matthew, are the driving force behind The Cancer Garden of Hope. They are also the people responsible for the Conquer Cancer license plates, which became a reality after Susan lost her husband, Michael, and the boys lost their Dad to lung cancer.
Be imaginative, witty, humorous or sentimental. Whatever your style, I hope you will join me in honoring a relative or friend with an everlasting tribute.
