A garden is being created in Oakland County to honor the four victims of the Oxford School Shooting.
Hana’s Garden is the first project of the Hana St. Juliana Memorial Fund which was created to honor the lives of those lost in the shooting and to support initiatives to prevent similar incidents in the future.
The garden will have special features commemorating the victims of the shooting.
Kathy Dickens is the executive director of the Four County Community Foundation, which administers the memorial fund. She said she hopes the garden can help to connect the Oxford Community.
“It'll mean healing, bringing the community together and it’s forever. It’ll be a place that the community can go and like I said, resonate on the loss and the tragedy and how that impacted the community, but it’ll also be a place where they can remember the lives of the four students lost and the ambitions that they had and how we go forward and do the best that we can,” Dickens said.
The groundbreaking ceremony for the garden will be held August 6th at Seymour Lake Township Park.
