“May their memory be a blessing” – Book of Proverbs
The Garden of Blessing is a living memorial dedicated to those affected by Parkinson’s disease and atypical Parkinsonian disorders, including Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), and Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB).
Developed through a unique collaboration between two charities in the US and Canada, the Garden stands as both a place of reflection and a symbol of global unity—bringing together patients, families, caregivers, researchers, and advocates in a shared commitment to healing, awareness, and scientific progress.
Designed as a sustainable, pollinator-friendly wildflower garden, it reflects the beauty and interconnectedness of life. Each planting honors a story, supports a thriving ecosystem, and contributes to a larger mission—where remembrance is transformed into purpose, and hope is cultivated for future generations.
Interfaith and multicultural by design, the Garden welcomes all people, all traditions, and all paths toward meaning and connection. It is a space where peace is found, lives are honored, and communities come together across borders and beliefs.
Here, remembrance gives life, unity gives strength and peace is cherished.
