Conceptual Design

Where Tavares, Florida

After the tragic loss of her child, the client Jennifer Dempsey
was inspired to create Lake County Children's Memorial Garden,
an experiential park for the bereaved to interact with nature as they
emotionally heal. For the 1.5-acre site fronting Lake Idamere in
Tavares, Florida, Perkins+Will conceived a carefully choreographed
living memorial that provides space for all steps of grieving, from
inward contemplation to group support. Drawing on theories from
environmental psychology, landscape architecture, medicine, and
horticultural therapy, the designers mapped out a path that guides
park visitors through eight key elements, which progress from
private to public.
The journey begins in the Garden of Remembrance, an entry
space with a memorial wall bearing engraved copper panels and
butterfly sculptures. The main circulatory path, the wood-planked
Observation Boardwalk, begins here, looping through the site to
provide views of the area's lake and biodiversity. Nestled in a shaded
grove is the Reflection Alcove, the most intimate spot, which supports
quiet and peaceful contemplation. From this secluded space visitors
progress through increasingly interactive zones, including the
Restoration Outlook, which features tiles hand-painted by local
children; the Active Healing Garden, incorporating interactive musical
instruments; and the undulating, meditative Children's Labyrinth.
The artfully planted Viewing Garden signals the transition from these
more individual realms to a communal one, the Memorial Terrace.
In this flexible space, visitors gather for events such as butterfly
releases and small memorial services, thus underscoring the muchneeded support that community can bring. -KRISTA SYKES
