10 — Sunday, March 19, 1989 - Lynn Valley Echo Event to raise funds for Cedarview sarden FUNDS ARE currently being raised to construct a figure- eight shaped special care garden for some of the patients at Cedarview Lodge in Lynn Valley. Part of the $59,000 required has been raised, and it is hoped that some of the remainder can be earn- ed through a Fashion Party/Ladies’ Clothing Sale, planned for Sunday, April 2, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. or from 3:30 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. The sale, which will be held at Fashion Party Inc., 8560 Fraser St. in Vancouver, features new season brand name and designer labels at discount prices. There will also be end-of-season bargain racks. Tickets cost $3. Funds raised will help Cedarview Lodge build a special garden for their 31 special care residents who have been experiencing difficulties in the large existing garden. Suffering from some cognitive impairment, these residents were confused and frustrated by existing walkways, which led thern straight into locked gates on a chain link fence. Cedarview Lodge is, therefore, opting for a figure-eight shaped walkway with a handrail on one side that has lights set into it for night-time use. The garden will be quite small, about one quarter of an acre, and designed with a2 ‘‘cool’’ theme featuring greens and soft colors. With an emphasis on non-toxic planis, the garden will feature many herb plants, shrubs and perennials. An underground sprinkler system will be installed to prevent residents getting accidentally soaked.
