Garden to be named in memory of Lorraine Goren

Amy’s Treat, a local charitable foundation which benefits those who seek treatment at the Seacoast Cancer Center at Wentworth Douglass Hospital, recently received City Council approval to begin the implementation of a meditative and healing garden at the Joe B. Parks Riverwalk Public Gardens.

The garden named in memory of Dover resident and community volunteer Lorraine Goren will be a place away from a hospital setting for anyone who seeks comfort and reflections whether or not cancer is at the root of their meditation. Patients, their friends, families or any community member can go there to relax, reflect and remember. Within the garden, there will be benches along a stepping stone walkway and the remains of a granite well fashioned to become a place to leave notes of hope and reflection. The plant materials are chosen specifically to promote peace and meditation. The completion of the garden is scheduled for early October.

Fundraising to support this and other Amy’s Treat initiatives is on-going and can be made by visiting www.amystreat.org or through the mail at Amy’s Treat, PO Box 2234, Dover, NH 03821.
