Updated Meer Gardens and Patio

Thank you for your support of the Patio & Gardens at Meer.

“Just living is not enough. One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.“

- Hans Christian Anderson

Help The Patio and Gardens at Meer Grow Into a New Community Space

Sunlight, fresh air, the smell of flowers and trees – nature is rejuvenating, invigorating, refreshing. Join us as we transform our courtyard into a beautiful outdoor space that allows our community to enjoy the scenic grounds at the Meer Apartments.

Located outside the Krolik Café and Fortgang Union, the new space will feature an expanded landscaped patio with seating and umbrella tables for dining, outdoor concerts and family visits.

The new space features a fountain and benches for meditation and comfort. Residents can sit and read under a pergola that will also serve as a sukkah in the autumn. Research suggests that having nature and outdoors available and accessible promotes health and an improved sense of well-being.

Gifts will be acknowledged on a donor wall and on our website.
