wisdom.
The cost of each stone is $65.00.
Stones may be engraved with up to three lines of
14 characters per line (including spaces and
punctuation). Multiple stones may be used to
accommodate larger messages.
If you would like your stone placed in a particular
location, please include a note along with this

Like the splendid gardens it houses,
may it flourish and grow.
