The Babies Garden
                         'Love forgets not '

This garden was created by the people of Penola in memory
of babies that entered and touched our lives all too briefly.

It was established and is maintained by community volunteers.

All are welcome to use the garden as a place to pause,
 reflect, meet a friend.

Please feel free to smell a rose or pluck a weed.
