Bringing reminders of loved ones into our living spaces is part of what makes our homes special. You can do the same in your garden by adding plants and features that symbolize those you have loved, honoring their lives and focusing on what they meant to you. While every memorial garden is unique and deeply personal, the ideas below offer inspiration to help you begin creating a heartfelt space in your own landscape.
As you plan your memorial garden, it’s important to think about the person your loved one was — “their quirks, their favorite things, their hobbies, their funny and inside jokes, their favorite words or sayings, their pets,” says Kristin Taunton, who worked with a design team on a memorial garden seen below. These personal touches can help shape a space that not only honors the person’s memory but also brings comfort and a lasting sense of connection.

Disney’s The Little Mermaid, The Lion King and Toy Story are celebrating major anniversaries this year and next. To mark the occasions, Houzz channeled the spirit of each classic animated film with designs for an open-concept kitchen and dining area, plus an adjoining foyer and walk-in pantry, all created with the Houzz Pro 3D Floor Planner — a tool available to Houzz Pro subscribers.
“Creating these spaces was like bringing a cherished childhood memory to life,” Houzz designer Madison Holmlund says. “Every detail, from the color palette to the furniture, was chosen to reflect the timeless charm of a few of Disney’s most celebrated films, while the Houzz Pro 3D Floor Planner made it easy to create three distinct designs for the same great room.”
