Due to the desire for
Paradise Gardens to remain in the honor of God's work through Howard Finster,
Beverly Finster has donated and signed over the property of Paradise Gardens to
a Christian affiliated non-profit organization. The property can never be sold
and is out of her hands completely. Through years of prayer this is what the
Lord showed her to do shortly after Howard's Birth date on December 2, 2004.
Pray and Believe that God has something wonderful going to
take place here soon!

The Howard Finster Monument |
The Howard Finster Monument was unveiled
at the Howard Finster Memorial service on Sunday, December 2, 2001. It would
have been Howard Finster's 85th birthday. The monument sits underneath the
Chapel dome. It is a black marble etching designed by Carl McKlesky in 1991.
Carl is a local resident of Summerville, Georgia, near Paradise Gardens.
The Marble pieces were attached to the rock like monument to preserve the
etching and in honor of a treasured, world re-known, folk artist.
