Summer seems to be going by so fast. \u00a0With Fall just around the corner, it’s a perfect time to plan your Pet Memorial Garden. \u00a0I just love the idea of planning this garden together, with other members of the family, to aid in the healing process. \u00a0It can be as small as a single Pet Memorial Garden Stone, or more elaborate, with flowers, trees, and perhaps even a Memorial Wind Chime.<\/a><\/p>\n

Things to consider when creating your Pet Memorial Garden are:<\/p>\n

Location: \u00a0Obviously, that depends on the areas surrounding your house. \u00a0Is there a tree in your yard? \u00a0If so, that’s a beautiful place (as pictured above). \u00a0Maybe just adding a Memorial Garden Stone to an existing garden would work out just fine. \u00a0Or, if you want something more elaborate, find a larger area (preferably that you can see from your house) and plant a variety of plants and flowers.<\/p>\n

Plants: \u00a0Shade, sun and temperature are important to consider. \u00a0Also, the time you would like to invest in the maintenance of this special garden should also be considered. \u00a0Do you want to plant annuals every year, or are you looking for a more carefree design?<\/p>\n

What kind of flowers\/plants should you plant? \u00a0If you would like to commemorate your pet’s birth date or date that your pet passed, here are a few ideas of flowers representing each month:<\/p>\n

January – Carnation<\/p>\n

February – Violet, Primrose<\/p>\n

March – Daffodil, Violet<\/p>\n

April – Daisy<\/p>\n

May – Lily of the Valley<\/p>\n

June – Rose<\/p>\n

July – Larkspur, Water Lily, Sweet Pea<\/p>\n

August – Gladiolus<\/p>\n

September – Asper<\/p>\n

October – Calendula, Dahlia<\/p>\n

November – Chrysanthemum<\/p>\n

December – Holly, Poinsettia<\/p>\n

Pet Memorial Garden Stone: \u00a0There are so many Memorial Garden Stone ideas and many available both locally on online. \u00a0These stones can be personalized either with a plaque or by having it engraved. \u00a0If you happen to have your pet’s cremains, a beautiful Urn Pet Memorial Garden Stone <\/a>would be perfect. \u00a0Another idea, many craft stores have kits that can help you create your very own Memorial Stone. \u00a0This is most specifically a great idea for any child who is dealing with the loss of their pet.<\/p>\n

Lastly, and most importantly, keep your pet’s personality in mind. \u00a0This Pet Memorial Garden should reflect the memory of your precious pet.<\/p>\n

Do you have a Memorial Garden you can share. \u00a0Please feel free to post pictures!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
