Tiered Garden

The memorial tiered garden area will become a space for all individuals, especially former Mohawk Institute Indian Residential School students to relax and reflect on their past, present and future while in nature.
The tiered garden will be developed on a sloped area into the park. Each tiered garden bed area will be comprised of armour stone retaining walls. Natural stone guillotine steps will be featured down the centre, with tiered garden beds on either side. These steps will be an added entrance into the park, as an accessible sloped ramp/walkway has been constructed at the end of the proposed tiered garden area. The middle tier will also showcase a bench area, where one can sit while overlooking the tiered garden and other features in the park.
