Noah Brennan helped his community by building a serenity garden at Lima Memorial Hospital. This courtyard area had been an old, designated smoking area, but thanks to Noah’s efforts this revitalized area is designated to past, present, and future employees, and volunteers at Lima Memorial Hospital.
This was Noah Brennan's Eagle Project. He wanted to do the project mainly to give resting place to Doctors and Medical staff for the hardships they have gone through the last two years helping the community overcome the effects of the coronavirus. |

In this Serenity Garden there are perennials such as lavender, tactile objects, and sound such as wind chimes. There are two picnic tables with umbrellas on them as well as benches. In these different sections, people can sit individually and not as a group. This is a healthy area to rest and relax. This Serenity Garden was dedicated on October 22, 2021.
The effort put forth by Noah helped earn him the Adams Award at this year's Eagle Scout and Youth Recogition Event, which celebrated the Eagle Scout Class of 2021. To read the full story on the counicl website, CLICK HERE! |
