Alison and Charles Gill Memorial Garden

The garden was designed, built and paid for by Charlie Gill in 1994 as a memorial to his wife Alison. After his death that same year, the garden was renamed to honor Charlie as well as Alison.

The garden is one of the loveliest memorial gardens in Connecticut. It is open to the community for quiet contemplation and as a gather place celebrations.

Drop by and enjoy the peace and beauty of the garden any time.  You can even see the garden in winter through the windows of the walkway that runs along the side of the garden.
