Crescent Senior Living is inviting families, residents, staff, and the greater community to participate in a new initiative that celebrates the lives of those impacted by dementia through the creation of a Memory Garden—an interactive, living tribute in the heart of its courtyard.

Individuals are invited to plant a flower or greenery in one of the garden's raised beds in honor of someone affected by dementia. A personalized plaque bearing the loved one's name will be placed beside the plant, creating a meaningful and lasting symbol of remembrance. Whether donating a single bloom or filling an entire bed, participants will help transform the space into a garden oasis representing love, memory, and healing.

"This project represents the heart of Crescent Senior Living," said Bryce Rich, executive director at Crescent Senior Living. "It's about creating a space where families, residents, staff, and community members can come together to honor loved ones. The Memory Garden is a living tribute that fosters reflection, healing, and connection."

"The Memory Garden is a natural extension of our commitment to person-centered memory care," said Sue Johnston, vice president of program development at Meridian Senior Living. "Through our exclusive Montessori Moments in Time™ program, we emphasize purposeful engagement, dignity, and honoring each resident's life story. I was honored to purchase blooms in memory of my Aunt Mae and Papa Bennett. This garden allows families to do the same—planting both memories and moments of joy."

To support the community's participation, Crescent Senior Living has partnered with Kuwahara Wholesale, a trusted local nursery located at 8565 S. State St. in Sandy. Flowers and plants for the Memory Garden can be purchased by calling (801) 855-7267 or visiting the nursery in person. For more information about the Memory Garden, call (385) 406-3258 or visit www.crescentseniorliving.com.
