Funding Holds Up Palmer Garden Plans

Buy a brick.

That's what , an organization for families who have lost a child, hope the public will do at a brick sale at the Aug. 4-5. The bricks, which cost $50 each, will be a feature of a memorial garden the group is building outside the Charles Chrin Community Center in Palmer Township.

But funding delays will prevent the butterfly garden from becoming a reality in the near future, according to  story in the Easton Express-Times.

Compassionate Friends proposed the garden last August and returned in March to update supervisors on the project. The garden will have a circular patio with the group's logo with memorial bricks in memory of the children.

Organizers had hoped that foundation work would be completed in time a candlelight vigil during the second week of December. The garden itself won't be completed until sometime next spring.
