Las Vegas Community Healing Garden a Beacon of Hope

On October 6, 2017, the Las Vegas Community Healing Garden was dedicated and opened to the public. It was built in three days by community members and local businesses following the October 1 tragedy at the Route 91 Harvest Music Festival. The garden features a Remembrance Wall, a grove of 58 trees lining a paved path, shrubs, and flowers, all encircling a beautiful oak tree - the Tree of Life -- donated by Siegfried and Roy. The 58 trees were planted to signify the 58 lives lost on that tragic evening. Painted rocks, flowers, pictures, and other mementos placed by community members offering their condolences, prayers, and remembrance of loved ones can be found at the trees and all around the garden. The Healing Garden serves as a place of calm to remember those touched by tragedy, provides a place of refuge for healing, and is a living garden celebrating life, compassion, and fellowship that we find in community. The garden, now managed and cared for by the City of Las Vegas and the Las Vegas Community Healing Garden Committee, continues to grow and thrive. Visitors come daily to see its beauty. Family members lovingly decorate the trees of their loved ones. Survivors find a place of comfort, fellowship, and healing. Although created out of tragedy, the Community Healing Garden has become a beacon of hope for so many in the Las Vegas Valley and beyond.
