"Annmarie Campbell"s Zen Garden at Bernheim Forest"

As the weather warms, consider a visit to the late Annmarie Campbell's zen garden at Bernheim Forest. Dawn Yankeelov, Annmarie"s mother, and president of ASPectx worked with family members and friends to design a space that invites peace and tranquility as well as moments for creativity and adventure. This space is open to the public and available by taking the grassy Lake Nevin Train Extension near Lake Nevin at Bernheim Forest. When you first enter Bernheim, as you stop at the guard shack, look to your right and you can see the zen garden in the distance in a grove of maple trees. To see a location map, go to www.bernheim.org under Memorials. There are two benches, handmade birdhouses, and the stones indicating the circle of life from birth to death selected and placed by Annmarie Campbell"s father and Dawn"s ex-husband, Bill Campbell. Deceased artist Annmarie Campbell enjoyed many visits to Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest in Bulllitt County, Ky., and other moments of nature with her mother and sister, Melissa, studying nature from the flowers to the insects. Within Bernheim's 14,000 acres you will find a nationally-recognized arboretum, beautiful gardens, tranquil lakes, a nature center, large expanses of scenic natural area, 30 miles of hiking trails and a 12,000-acre research forest. Enjoy a leisurely stroll, hike, bike, bring the family to the Visitors Center or just come out to enjoy the ever changing display of natural splendor.
