History
In 1991, Nathan was killed during a swim in a quarry not far from his tributary garden, at the age of 20-years-old. After their son's death the Hall family decided to use a portion of their backyard to build a relaxing park for neighbors and others to enjoy. The garden, though small in square footage, is beautifully landscaped with flowers and a variety of plant types. It is equipped with a small pond from which to make a wish and even lily pads.
