Susie Jackson Freedom Memorial Garden, Charleston, SC

The Fountain Division of W. P. Law, Inc. had the unique experience of working on a very meaningful project known as the "Susie Jackson Freedom Memorial Garden." Susie Jackson was one of the nine people killed during a prayer meeting at Mother Emanuel Church seven years ago on June 17, 2015.

Susie Jackson used the alley, where the new garden is located, to get from her home to work and to church. The City of Charleston, Charleston Parks Conservancy, City Landscape Architect Rodney Porter, and numerous other subcontractors put together a beautiful space for rest and contemplation and met the timeline to open on today's anniversary.

Rodney Porter shared that shortly after we finished the final details and left the site yesterday, a niece of Susie Jackson visited the Garden and was brought to tears by what a wonderful space it was and how much her aunt would have loved the native plants and the sound of cascading water.

Every one of our projects are special to the Fountain Division due to our commitment to excellence, but we must say that this one is especially meaningful.

Thanks to the City of Charleston for trusting us with this project. Stop by if you get the chance at 71 Alexander St. Charleston, SC.
