Leah Marie Walsh Memorial Garden

The Bishops College Youth Action Committee (YAC) hopes to establish a natural garden on the school grounds in the spring of 2011. This garden would be dedicated to the memory of former student and Youth Action Committee member, Leah Marie Walsh, who passed away due to a cardiac illness in December, 2008 at the age of 17. The garden will contain local flora and fauna, including a butterfly house. Leah Marie was a great admirer of butterflies.
