What is a Kindness Rock Garden?
These gardens were created by On A Dragonfly’s Wings, in memory of the owner’s son, Nikolai Miller, who died by suicide on June 20, 2019, at the age of 15.
Nikolai was a kind and generous soul who loved all people with his whole heart. He also suffered silently with mental illness that eventually ended his life.
The purpose of the gardens is to bring kindness, positivity, and love to all who stumble upon them. They are a reminder to all that YOU MATTER and love always wins.
The stepping stones you will encounter within each garden were created with love by suicide loss survivors in memory of their loved ones. You may walk on them; however, we ask that you be respectful of the space.
