Laura's Garden Foundation was developed to honor the life and legacy of Laura Kirsche Hart. It will provide an inviting gathering place for all visitors to Old Wethersfield. The garden will be built in the shape of a nautilus shell- a symbol of perfection and beauty, strength, spiritual growth, creation and movement. These symbols personify Laura.

Laura and her family loved spending their time together at the playground at Mikey's Place in Standish Park in Old Wethersfield. The park holds a special place in their hearts as a place for the family to gather, socialize and rejuvenate.  The garden provides a serene and contemplative space with flowering plants and trees, lots of sunshine and fluttering butterflies. It is a place for parents to gather for a quiet moment while their children play, for community members to enjoy a reflective moment and for children to wonder at the joys of color, nature and butterflies. It is surely a space that Laura would have been proud to have named in her honor.
