Northside Hospital-Forsyth Labyrinth Garden

 In August 2020, Cumming Garden Club organized a Garden Planning Committee to assist Northside Hospital-Forsyth with the hospital’s labyrinth garden beautification project. Bryan Lake, Chaplain of Northside Hospital-Forsyth, oversees the garden project. Available to hospital employees, patients, family and friends of patients, the garden has a striking interior sundial and beautiful fieldstone walkways. CGC was asked to provide a plan, timeline, scope of work and budget for planting the spaces between the flagstones. The goal was to update the garden’s curb appeal and overall beauty by replacing plants in poor condition and amending the poor soil.    

Labyrinth Garden Committee: Jill Denlea, Barbara Henry, Shirley Puch, Cindy Bean, Selma Paul

CGC committee members and volunteers will continue to weekly oversee the garden throughout the year. 

Necessary maintenance and improvements will be made on an “as needed” basis. Seasonal annuals will be used among perennials. 

Getting Started

On October 13-14, committee members amended the soil with organic matter, potting soil and soil conditioner.

Then plants were strategically placed around the interior sun dial and walking areas.

Cumming Garden Club's evening group (below right) made a fall excursion to the garden and snapped the photo above.

Group photo was taken by a hospital nurse who was informed of the project while eating her lunch in the garden.

Since deer had greatly enjoyed the pansies and cabbages, this intrepid four replanted annuals on a chilly February day.

Deer netting was installed over plants to deter further munching.

Selma Paul and her husband Steve provided the hoops to hold netting.
