🌿 Bench Updates at Meadowlark 🌿

As part of our ongoing care of the gardens, we’ve begun reviewing benches that are over 20 years old or showing signs of wear. This will be a gradual process, starting with benches in the poorest condition.

If you’ve sponsored a bench, you’re welcome to reach out to us to check the current status of your bench and see if it’s on the list for updates. Many sponsors have already expressed interest in continuing their bench sponsorship, and we’re happy to provide more details about the replacement process!

We’re so grateful for our bench sponsors who make Meadowlark a more beautiful and welcoming place for all visitors.
