The garden was created in memory of Dracut's children. It is a circular garden depicting the circle of life. Bricks and a variety
of stonework make up inner circles, eventually becoming pool of river rocks displaying an etched granite monument that
pays tribute to the children. Arborvitaes encircle the outer edges of the garden providing windbreak, privacy, and winter
interest. An annual border provides bright splashes of color from spring through fall. Irrigation is provided through the town
and delivered through the school's sprinkler system.
Each year the Dracut Rotary Club, in conjunction with the Town of Dracut's Public School Department, Parks & Recreation
department, and volunteers from the Community Garden Greenhouse, clear up the debris, replant the annuals, and drop
mulch.
