Maney-Hawkins Meditation Garden · Goshen, NY
Welcome to the garden

A sanctuary
without walls.

Sometimes the most meaningful thing we can do is stop.

Just outside our historic church, this contemplative space welcomes neighbors, families, and visitors to wander the labyrinth, sit quietly, or remember someone they love.

Thoughtful garden lighting offers a peaceful setting during the day and evening.

A place for everyone
“Remember me forever, and when you do, please don't be sad.”

Words from the garden's memorial bench, attributed to Jonathan George.

Remember someone special

Love leaves a
lasting mark.
