Respite Care Atlanta's Dedication of Sarahs’ Garden
Sunday, May 15 | After Worship | Courtyard Off the Youth Area Near East Wesley
On your way to join the Picnic on the Plaza, we encourage you to stop by Sarahs’ Garden. Respite Care Atlanta has created a beautiful space for use by its participants and their caregivers. Named in honor of Sarah Kenan Kennedy and in memory of Sarah Yuille Clarke, who together created the Atlanta Alzheimer’s Auxiliary in 1998, the garden is located just outside the RCA program area.

Designed by Edward L. Daugherty, ASLA, the garden hardscaping and tree and shrub planting began in late 2019. By summer 2020, the garden was blooming with colorful flowers, fragrant herbs, ripe cherry tomatoes, and a variety of perennials, many shared and planted by volunteers from their own gardens. Level walkways provide a safe footing for program members using assistive walking devices. Sturdy seating at each end of the garden invites both members and volunteers to sit under an arbor and enjoy the verdant respite
