The Folly Beach Home and Garden Club held the Dedication of the David C. Israel Memory Garden on Friday, June 26, at 4pm. The Garden is located behind the Community Center and The City of Folly Beach gave the Garden Club permission to use this plot of land.
The Memory Garden was made possible by the generous donations made to the Garden Club in memory of David Israel, a Folly Beach resident and landscape designer who tragically drowned in the Folly River in June of 2007. The Memory Garden had its birth when the obituary asked that memorial donations be made to the Folly Beach Home and Garden Club.
With its engraved pavers in memory of loved ones, it’s beautiful plants and flowers, the garden is a place where everyone can come for memories, prayer and peace. All are welcome to enjoy it.
