Labyrinth Garden at Northside Hospital-Fortsyth

One of Cumming Garden Club's contributions to the community: the Hospital Labyrinth Garden

Since 2020, the Cumming Garden Club has partnered with Chaplain Bryan Lake of Northside Hospital-Forsyth, offering our expertise and labor for the garden design, implementation and maintenance.

Labyrinth Team

Labyrinth Garden Committee: Jill Denlea, Barbara Henry, Shirley Puch, Cindy Bean, and Selma Paul (Elizabeth Scott and Laura Fonseco not shown)

CGC committee members and volunteers oversee the Labyrinth Garden year round.  We provide necessary maintenance and improvements on an “as needed” basis, presenting seasonal color from annuals, among a beautiful mix of 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.

Unexepected Setback

In mid-October, the Labyrinth Garden was mistakenly dug up by a contracted landscaping company. Very sadly, we lost all of the plants we have so lovingly planted over the past 4 years. We are devasted by this loss, however, we have since planted over 100 bulbs for Spring 2024, and the landscaping company contributed dozens of flats of pansies for a bit of color to get through this winter. Members of the Labyrinth Garden Committee are busy developing plans for the future, with hopes for another vibrant and thriving space for thought and reflection.

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.
