ST. CLAIR SHORES Inspired by a grotto at the Solanus Casey Center in Detroit, a therapy garden is growing outside of the new home of Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan with help from local students and members of the Lions Club.
Maggie Varney, founder and CEO of Maggie’s Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan, said she had wanted to find a way to honor children who had participated in Wigs 4 Kids programs who had passed away she calls them her angels while giving current participants a space they could use, as well. She thought of incorporating the remembrance into a therapy garden when she visited the grotto at the Solanus Casey Center in Detroit. She wanted to create a similarly beautiful space outside the Wigs 4 Kids’ new home at 30130 Harper Ave.
