My 95 year old Gram took walks there every day, it’s no wonder she’s seen such longevity. When she found out that was where I was spending most of my time, she told me the story of how the garden came to be. Mr. and Mrs. Clemens lived across the street from the garden. Mrs. Clemens was wheelchair bound from her battle with Multiple Sclerosis. Mr. Clemens heard that the land across the street was for sale, made the purchase and then donated it to the city with the vision of creating a sprawling rose garden for Mrs. Clemens to view and enjoy strolls in. An act of true love and romance to provide the gift of nature’s beauty and peace to his beloved wife while she battled such a debilitating disease. Honoring her, wishing to bring her joy “in sickness and in health”.

You see, this is the foundation and philosophy of Sarah’s Garden. I believe deeply in the power of love, commitment, and devotion through the act of marriage. I believe in the magic of nature, especially flowers to transform, heal, inspire and commemorate the best moments of life. Since 1996, when I first learned to design, I have had the honor of creating floral arrangements for many of life’s milestones. Births, graduations, birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, retirements, friendships, thank you’s, apologies, illnesses and deaths. Of course, out of all of these memorable moments, weddings are my passion. They encompass beginnings, love, friendship, commitment, families, legacies, hope for tomorrow. All the very BEST things in life. My wish is to create mini gardens of love like Mr. Clemens, to honor your wedding day for all to enjoy and remember as a beautiful way to commemorate love and marriage.
