Ellie’s Moonflower Garden & the Labyrinth at Woods Church
As the first act of the For Ellie Foundation, a moonflower garden was designed and planted adjacent to the Labyrinth at Woods Presbyterian Memorial Church’s Care and Counseling Center in Severna Park, MD. The labyrinth project was envisioned and championed by Ellie’s great grandparents as a place for the whole community to reflect and meditate in a time of grief or sorrow. The Labyrinth at Woods is a modern adaptation of the medieval labyrinth at Chartres Cathedral in France. It is open to people of all ages and can be used for many purposes including individual spiritual connection, therapeutic and healing processes, church retreats, youth and school groups, and much more.
Ellie’s Moonflower garden isconnected to the labyrinth and is an additional place for anyone in the community to enjoy. It is meant to be a place of healing, learning and reflection. A favorite flower of Ellie’s great grandmother, the moonflower blooms only at night or on overcast days, and represents light and beauty in the darkness. Ellie’s Moonflower Garden was dedicated at 10am on Saturday May 20th 2017, what would have been Ellie’s 1st birthday.
