Emma's Garden

In 2018 Building and Grounds (with many helpers) transformed the outdoor patio space in front of the Meeting House into a lovely enclosed garden, complete with slate pathway, a trellis for a grape arbor, garden/flower plots and an open area for future use, perhaps by the children. Thanks to generous donations of furniture, the enclosed garden also provides a lovely sitting area and a round picnic table, complete with umbrella for shade.

The garden was officially dedicated in fall 2018 as “Emma’s Garden,” “El Jardín de Emma,” in recognition of the many gifts that Emma brought to our community during her long sojourn in Sanctuary between 2017-18. In 2019, final touches have been added to the garden, increasing its use by members and attenders of Albuquerque Monthly Meeting.

Thanks to those who helped bring our vision to fruition including: Jim Dudley, Jim Malone, John Penery, Ben Maseman, Miguel Franco, Robert Morales, Sara Keeney, and Matt Brackbill. Let us know if we missed someone!.
