Become Part of Paradise Garden
Honor a loved one, share your story, and become part of Paradise Garden with a personalized engraved brick—celebrating 110 years of Howard Finster.
What Is the Living Pathway?
The Living Pathway is a new engraved brick walkway at Paradise Garden.
By purchasing a personalized brick, you can place a name, memory, or message within the Garden itself—creating a lasting connection to this special place.
Each brick becomes a permanent part of Paradise Garden, joining the many stories that have shaped it over time.
A Thoughtful Renewal
The pathway being replaced was installed after Howard Finster’s lifetime and has deteriorated over the years, creating uneven and unsafe conditions for visitors.
This project does not remove or alter any original elements created by Howard Finster.
Instead, the Living Pathway renews this important walkway in a way that is safe, accessible, and in keeping with the spirit of the Garden—transforming what exists into something new, just as Finster did.
Why It Matters
Paradise Garden has always grown through the hands and stories of those who love it.
Through the Living Pathway, you are invited to:
-

-
Celebrate a memory
-
Share your connection to Paradise Garden
Who will you honor?
