Here at Hospice of Central New York and Hospice of the Finger Lakes we have a lovely Solace Garden located at our Liverpool Office. Our Solace Garden was established in 2001 with the purpose to bring a place of solace and reflection to the community and Hospice families.
The Solace Garden consists of beautiful annual and perennial flowering plants, as well as green foliage. The garden has identified pathways, each signifying a feeling that reflects the core of Hospice: Dignity, Peace, Hope, Comfort, Joy, Love and Serenity. The foundation of these pathways are bricks laid in memory or in honor of loved ones.
Over the last 19 years the Solace Garden has been expanded and updated. In 2003 a protective tree line was added, as well as beautiful benches for people to sit and reflect. In 2014 the garden was expanded to offer additional space for families to honor or memorialize loved ones with bricks. In 2018 an additional entrance pathway was installed that is also accessible.
Our Solace Garden is available 365 days a year for people to come, visit, sit and reflect. We hope our garden continues to bring peace and comfort to our community for years to come.
