HEALING GARDENS WILL BE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC SEPTEMBER 12 FOR ENJOYMENT OF PERENNIAL GARDENS IN WOODED SETTING
Healing Gardens is free to public, from 11:00 am – 4:00 pm
Healing Gardens, a two-acre expanse of woodland and perennial gardens on Stone Hill Farm off Dean Road in Saint Charles, today announced its next opening date will be Sunday, September 12. The gardens are open to the public on set dates for the purpose of enjoying the natural wooded setting and perennial gardens. The gardens are open at no cost to the public, however, donations of time or money for upkeep are welcome. Healing Gardens is cultivated and hosted by Deborah Marqui owner of Stone Hill Farm with her husband Buzz Marqui.
“Nature replenishes and renews the spirit, which in turn, helps heal the body,” said Ms. Marqui. “The gardens are a quiet place where people are welcome to read, nap, draw, meditate, journal, swing or walk or simply do nothing.”
For a small donation to Healing Gardens visitors can pick their own bouquet of flowers to take home. The September 12 opening will continue to offer an optional outdoor Yoga In The Garden class from 1 pm – 2 pm taught by Nancy May. Go to www.yogafromtheheart.org or call 815-319-3500 to register.
Ms. Marqui, who is cancer-free from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma since 1996 and in remission from breast cancer since 2002, finds great restoration of spirit in her gardens and property and wants to share that with the public for their own rejuvenation. Visiting individuals or small groups are welcome to do as they please. No activity is required or requested. Stone Hill Farm is the home of Buzz and Deb Marqui where they have lived since 1972, raising four children.
