GARDEN OF INNOCENCE/NATIONAL
After many trials with our first garden, Garden of Innocence/San Diego, we feel we are well qualified to go out across the USA to teach others in their state how to start a Garden of Innocence in their area.
Our founder of Garden of Innocence, Elissa Davey has brought one of our directors from Garden of Innocence/San Diego, Pastor Neteria Carroll, into Garden of Innocence National to combine their knowledge and together help other interested people fulfill their desire to reach out to abandoned and unidentified children.
There is a lot to do to prepare for this task but the main question we ask those interested in starting a garden is, "Why do you feel you want to start a garden?" There is no money to be made here. No one at Garden of Innocence gets paid. Everything we do is volunteer. What we gain is how we feel inside once we have cared for this little child that no one else wanted. How it feels to know that we did what is right, to bury this child, to send him or her "home" with the love and dignity of family and friends in attendance.
That is what Garden of Innocence is all about. Bringing dignity to a child where there was none.
