1. Frieda's Gardens Marker

Inscription. Frieda and I were very proud of our Swiss heritage and nothing shows that quite like our beautiful Swiss-style gardens. My wife loved to practice organic gardening, where she raised beds of perennials and flowering shrubs to accent our property every year. She also tended to an abundant vegetable patch and canned her wares in the winter for the family.
