A Tribute to Those Who Matter Most. As part of Berkley’s 250th celebration, we are proud to create a community Honor Garden on the lawn outside Town Hall. This installation is designed to recognize and honor the people who have shaped our lives, our families, and our community. Purchase a flag in honor or memory of a loved one and be part of a meaningful community display outside Town Hall.
What Is the Honor Garden
The Honor Garden will feature a display of American flags, each representing an individual(s) meaningful to our residents. Flags may be purchased in honor or in memory of a loved one, family member, friend, or service member. Each flag will be personalized with a name allowing you to recognize an individual in a visible and meaningful way as part of this town wide celebration.
A Meaningful Community Display
The Honor Garden will be installed beginning on Memorial Day and will remain in place through the Fourth of July. During this time, the display will serve as a powerful and respectful tribute, offering residents and visitors an opportunity to reflect, remember, and celebrate the individuals who matter most to them. Together, these flags will create a shared space of remembrance, pride, and community connection.
How to Participate
Purchasing a flag is simple and meaningful. Purchase a Flag by clicking this link.
We will review flag purchases each week and will send additional details regarding name submission and display. The first placements will take place on Monday, June 1st.
