We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of Dr. Gene Hooks. His impact on our community will be felt for years to come.
Dr. Hooks had a special vision in establishing our beautiful Japanese Garden—a peaceful space meant for reflection, connection, and appreciation of nature. It stands today as a lasting tribute to his passion for creating something meaningful for others to enjoy.
A wonderful way to honor his memory is to spend time in the garden he helped bring to life—walking its paths, enjoying its beauty, and embracing the sense of calm it offers.
If you would like to make a donation to help continue the growth of the garden, please call 336-998-6593 for more details.
Thank you, Dr. Hooks, for your dedication to growing and beautifying our community. Your legacy lives on in every corner of the garden. ❤
