Landscape diagram: Note areas designated A,B,D, and E The vision of the Landscape Committee is a clean, uncluttered, eye-pleasing and
welcoming border around our Church that will not require a lot of maintenance.
Each area would need about 4 “gardening angels” to watch over them and help maintain
them throughout the spring, summer and fall. (Area C is the
Columbarium
Garden
)
