Margie's Garden a Respite for Kids and Parents

A garden playground as beautiful as it is magical, grew from the terrible loss of a much beloved friend of mine. Margie Kezman was a soft-spoken little girl who grew up across the street from me. Our parents were friends so the five Busalacchi kids all became close with Margie and her siblings. To this day, we are all like family.

When Margie succumbed to an aggressive form of cancer, her husband Tim soon began investigating ways to honor her life. He started with the fact that Margie had two main passions—kids and gardening. On Wednesday, friends and family got a sneak peak at Margie’s Garden, located at Witnall Park near Milwaukee. It is a tribute reminiscent of a Disney theme park. Take a look at the photos and you’ll see what I mean.

Margie would be thrilled to see her community serve kids and parents in this way.

Well done!
