Created in Community

Kelly’s Meditation Garden was created in memory of Kelly Felgar and reflects the generosity and collaboration of the Monadnock Region. The garden was made possible through a bequest by Mary Cormack to the Peterborough Garden Club and designed by Maude Odgers and Marc Hudson.

This shared effort created a space that supports healing not only through care, but through connection to nature and community.

Why Spaces Like This Matter

Access to quiet, restorative environments can support emotional well-being, reduce stress, and provide comfort during times of uncertainty. Gardens like this offer a simple but meaningful way to step away, even briefly, and return with a sense of calm.
