Tweed Commemorative Memorial Garden

    Visitors to Tweed and area are invited to visit Moira Garden which was designed and created by a Special Project Committee under the auspices of the Tweed and District Horticultural Society.Moira Garden is a commemorative garden. This garden was conceived in the spirit of community participation to commemorate those that have passed from us and to acknowledge our community’s commitment to our future.                                                               

    Begun in 2003 with the creation of the many paths, the garden grew in successive stages with the addition of the boulders and the planting of the flower gardens, the setting of the gate posts and grills. A spill tank and a drainage ditch were added to accommodate the run-off and to slow the silting process. By 2008 a row of willows was established along the back border and wild flowers were sewn on the hill side.

    Moira garden features meandering paths of limestone, a dry Zen-type river bed, an interesting variety of gardens, an eclectic selection of trees and shrubs and beautiful Canadian Shield stones collected from the local quarries near Tweed. In addition, there is a beautiful circular rose garden which features a fine collection of explorer roses.

    One of the main attractions of the garden is its seven-circuit labyrinth completed in 2007. The Tweed and District Horticultural Society is proud to feature this addition to the garden for it is to date the only labyrinth of this nature in Ontario associated with an Horticultural Society.

    Moira Garden is funded through various fundraising endeavors. Donations from private individuals will always be gratefully received. For those interested in making a donation or purchasing a commemorative stone, please contact the Society or follow the links suggested in this web site.
