Windsor Chapter project featured in magazine
Work by members of the Windsor Chapter to create a dream backyard for an 11-year-old girl, was featured in a city magazine, Our Homes.
At only six days old, Olivia Klingbile required heart surgery to correct a congenital heart defect. Complications led to another heart surgery at five weeks old, at which time she suffered a stroke while in recovery. Olivia relies on a wheelchair and walker to move around, with the help of her family.
The backyard has a swing, bicycle track, outdoor chalkboards, a painting station and raised planters, so Olivia may pursue her love of gardening from her chair. The story was also featured in the September 2011 issue of Horticulture Review.
