Rachel Weeping for Children by Sondra Jonson

There are many ways to start your garden once you have determined the location.  You could first decide on your gardening style.  Formal or Casual, or maybe your location would determine whether your style of plants. Is your garden space in the shade and therefore your style would be suited for the group of plants that flourish in the shade.  I personally recommend starting with your memorial garden focal point.  This could be a sculpture, statue, memorial stones or whatever you find that is reflects your feeling.  Some people find a statue of a teddy bear to be appropriate while others prefer an angel or even a cross.  Whatever you decide make sure it is in proportion to your garden space.  For our Loss memorial garden we chose as our first statue a beautiful sculpture of Rachel Weeping for Her Children by Sondra Jonson.  The size was definitely proportional to our space.  Even a simple or ornate bird bath can add a certain feel to your garden space.
