Botanical Garden

The Mission of the garden is to provide an artistic view of the earth and of nature.

The STARS Foundation works with several students and  adults with illness and special needs. This garden is designed to heal  and soothe people of all ages who might be in need of its services. Not  only will the garden be pleasing to the eye, it will be a feast for the  other senses as well. The blind will hear special tones that will be  placed throughout the garden using chimes and musical garden pieces.  Therapeutic waterfalls and acupressure paths will soothe mind and body.  Each part of the garden will have its own distinct scent and there will  be ample amounts of shade for hot summer days. Children will delight in  interactive elements placed throughout the garden. The  garden will be fully handicapped accessible, with paths for wheelchairs  and even raised garden boxes high enough for working in the soil. 

There  will be classes and workshops held throughout the year on various  topics. For more information and to follow the garden's progress, check  back often or visit us on social media.

Garden History and Timeline

In 2014 with the permission of the City of Cabool, we broke ground. 

Eagle  Scouts Blake Williams and Teddy Murphy built the garden boxes and  placed irrigation lines. There were over 60 volunteers present for this  phase of the project. Mr. Doug Haynie of Cabool volunteered his services  as a professional plumber. Mr. Jayson Lee of Hartville provided  professional supervision for the box construction. Mr. Gillet  volunteered to dig all the trenches for the piping.


A $2,000 grant was obtained from Walmart, assisting with the cost of materials.Unfortunately  a week later heavy rains washed the beds into the river. Students were  able to pull them out and without damage; the beds were moved to higher  ground.


At this time we have moved the garden to another location and will continue after theater atrium is built to accommodate an indoor Botanical Garden.
