Marble from China part of garden coming to Braselton hospital
0216Marble
A marble water garden at Northeast Georgia Medical Center Braselton will be made out of a certain type of marble only found in China.
If you’ve ever been to the hospital or the emergency room, you know how important it is to take a moment to step out of the building and catch your breath, Nancy Colston, president and chief development officer of the Medical Center Foundation, said. In the near future, those seeking such a respite at Northeast Georgia Medical Center Braselton will get to enjoy the 617-square-foot Jack and Janice Frost Water Garden, which will have a basin made out of a type of marble only found in China, where it was hand-carved. “We tried to find the marble here,” said Jack Frost, an art connoisseur and owner of Memorial Park Funeral Homes.
