The La Plata Community Garden Club dedicates this garden to all those who restored and rebuilt our town following the devastating tornado on April 28, 2002.

The granite star in the center of the courtyard commemorates the star which stood on this site atop the original water tower until it was destroyed by the tornado.

The brick walkway marks the path of the tornado through the town.

The five benches memorialize those who died in the 2002 tornado and the 13 school children who died in the tornado which struck La Plata on November 9, 1926.

More powerful than the forces of nature in the spirit of the townspeople of La Plata.

Dedicated April 28, 2007
