Our gardens offer a peaceful destination for rest, relaxation, and prayer. Shaded benches along winding paths (with wheelchair accessibility) provide a quiet environment for visitors. 

The Gardens are an outdoor sanctuary, with an area that holds the cremains of many beloved members and friends who were interred in front of the cross. In addition, we now have a Columbarium in the Gardens. 

The Gardens of Hope have developed over many years as a place of holiness and beauty. Hope’s members and friends in the community are all invited to come to the Gardens to pray, meditate, and commune with God.

Father, may those who visit our gardens
find a peaceful and prayerful refuge.
They might arrive in need of comfort or courage
or to spend time in praise and joy
or just to relax in prayerful meditation.

May their spirits be nourished by Your Presence in the Gardens:
by the music of the chimes, the rustling of leaves, the sighing of the pines;
by birdsong, and the the sighting of a colorful butterfly.
And, when our visitors leave, may they go in peace,
refreshed by Your Love.
Amen.
