The Betty Farnsworth Tranquility Garden was created to honor Betty Farnsworth, one of UVHS’s founding members and a woman who has given nearly 50 years of service to the organization as a dedicated volunteer and UVHS Board Member. Betty’s love and compassion for all animals inspired the garden, which provides a beautiful, tranquil space for both people and animals to share. The garden includes shade-covered benches for sitting and remembering loved ones, walking areas for gentle strolling, as well as a quiet space for prospective adopters to visit with dogs that are available for adoption in a more relaxed setting.

UVHS invites you to share in the beautiful garden by ordering a remembrance gift in memory or in honor of a loved one. Your donation will support not only the cost of the remembrance gift, but also the installation and yearly maintenance of your gift. 

The garden is open every day May 15 to October 15, and is open to the public during the Shelter/Animal Care Center’s operating hours. If you would like more information about this beautiful garden and how you may participate, please call (603) 448-6888 ext 111.
