History and Significance of The Bridge Rose Garden
The Bridge Rose Garden was established in 2025 with the mission to provide a therapeutic environment for individuals recovering from substance abuse. The garden symbolizes hope, resilience, and transformation, reflecting the journeys of many who have found solace in nature. Each rose planted represents a story, a dedication to those who have overcome challenges in their lives.
