Tile Design

Check out the tile design!  We are selling tiles to help raise funds for the park and create a sense of ownership/stewardship.  You can order tiles by contacting Rebecca Carr.  They sell for $100 each.  Be creative!  You don’t have to put your name.  You can put a quote or saying such as these on the tile:

“Bloom where you are planted”
“Cultivate the garden within”
“Flowers feed the soul”
“If friends were flowers, I’d pick you”
