Gardens with flowers and shrubs remind us of new life and the seasons of life. They represent God's creation and beauty and are to be enjoyed and praised for God's goodness. The benches are placed there for anyone who wants to spend some time at the monument. Certain sections of the memorial garden have been sponsored or donated by groups or individuals. The rose garden is sponsored by St. John the Apostle "Right to Life." Other garden areas are by the Confraternity of Christian Mothers, and St. John's parish life committee and Cashman Nurseries.
