Heart Garden
Spring time
Fall colors
The "Heart Garden" is dedicated to John Mohrlant.
John was the Mr. Fixit of SweetWater for 2 years and had a heart as
big as this garden. John reached out to the mentally challenged
children he came in contact with and became a "Grandpa" to each so
they could have that loving relationship and someone to share special
days in their lives.

Tre's Garden

This garden is dedicated to Tre Mielkie.
Tre was a young man that lived with us in
Shoreview and remodeled our
home before we purchased the resort. He decided to move with us when we purchased the
resort and did much of the initial remodeling when we move in. The Carl Forester Grass waves in the wind in
his memory.
