Garden of Remembrance, 2002.

The Garden of Remembrance is a serene setting for meditation and for remembering loved ones who have passed away, located on the campus of the Theosophical Society in America, Wheaton, Illinois. The concept was modeled after the garden of the same name at the international headquarters at Adyar, India.

Dedication of garden

The garden was established during the administration of John Algeo, and the dedication took place during the annual convention in July, 2001. Marie Minor worked at the TSA headquarters for more than 35 years, until retiring in 1997. After she passed away on May 8, 2001, her ashes were delivered to the Olcott campus to become the first interred in the new garden.
