"Labyrinths have been used for centuries as tools for bringing peace into people's lives," said Arboretum Horticulturist Bill Carlos. "Their patterned circuits offer an ideal place for people of all faiths and beliefs to meditate while walking."
The Labyrinth Garden at the May Arboretum and Botanical Garden is dedicated to victims of violent crime in our community and their loved ones. The garden project was initiated by the Washoe County District Attorney's Office, Nevada Attorney General's Office, and Victims in Crisis, Turmoil or Recovery (VICTORY).
