The small town of Quartzsite, AZ has a city park of 40 acres. Approximately 8 acres of the park has been transformed into Celia's Rainbow Garden by local residents and RV visitors.
Celia was a local girl who was born 17 weeks premature and barely survived. She did survive and became an inspiration to all who knew her. Unfortunately, Celia was not yet nine years old when she died in 1995. The towns' people started this rainbow garden in her memory and it has expanded from there.
With few restrictions, people are allowed to create their own desert memorials to their loved ones once they die.
There are no dead bodies here, but plenty of plaques, paths, desert plants, and interesting items in memory of loved ones who have passed on.
Here is a small wall where school children who knew Celia were allowed to leave their hand prints.
The displays are difficult to describe....
...and the paths go on and on.
Celia's Rainbow Garden is certainly worth a visit if you ever are traveling near Quartzsite.
It is one of a kind!
🙏
