(KLZA)-- Humboldt is to be the site of the Southeast Nebraska Cancer Memorial Garden.
The Southeast Nebraska Cancer Memorial Garden is to serve all those touched by cancer, stroke, illness or other tragedy and will serve all residents and communities in southeast Nebraska.
The City Council approved the project during their January 17th meeting. It's being coordinated by Jan Wilhelm and Sally Stalder.
Bill Lawman, a greenhouse owner from Kentucky with property south of Humboldt, is credited for the idea. . He both lost his wife to cancer and is a cancer survivor.
Plans call for a wide variety of features at the garden, including plants, flowers, resting benches, and walking paths.
It will be located at the north entrance of the Humboldt Lake Park.
The project is to be funded through donations, fund-raisers and private grants. Volunteers are being sought to complete and maintain the area.
The fund-raising efforts will begin with the sale of personalized pavers and donations.
Construction is to begin this spring with the project to grow as funding allows.
