Entrance rock to Gardens has new features added including a laser etching of the
late Celia Winer.
The granite portrait of Celia has been cemented into place, and the wording and
rainbow have been carved into the flagstone.
The work was done by a visiting snowbird, Bobby Cline, who spent many days
carving out the niche for the portrait and the words Celia’s Rainbow Gardens and
rainbow into the huge rock, all done by hand.
He spent hours chiseling out the heart for the portrait, and it was finally
cemented into place earlier this past week, with the wording and rainbow being
finished just a few days ago.
The portrait was laser etched onto granite, and hand cut by an artisan thanks to
Mike Presley, from Frye’s Mortuary in Blythe last year, and has been waiting for
someone to carve a place for it on the entrance rock.
Thanks to Bobby Cline, this part has now been completed, and visitors can have a
better idea of what the Gardens is all about. There are still a few more
finishing touches to be added, and these will be done in the near future.
This is a very special addition to the Gardens, and we thank Bobby Cline for all
his time and efforts in helping to get it done.
