The North area of the Memorial Garden is again dominated by shade plants. The Memorial Garden space is maintained two hours a day during spring, summer, and fall. New plants are not added every year since a large amount of the area has perennials. These plants are split and transferred to new locations within the garden. John and Coletta KoppĀ feelĀ "that this area keeps us healthy and moving. It is a very peaceful place to just come and sit for a while."
