About The 9-11 Garden of Reflection
The 9-11 Garden of Reflection was created to remember and honor all 2,973 people killed on September 11, 2001—including the 18 residents from Bucks County. It was formally dedicated on September 30, 2006.
The Memorial Journey walking path leads from sorrowful reminders of tragedy and grief towards luminous symbols of hope, peace and celebration of life. It includes WTC remnants, the names of all victims etched in glass, maple trees planted for the Bucks County residents, and the heart of the garden – luminous, twin towering fountains, which are symbols of renewal and healing.
