At 10 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 1, walkers began an almost four-mile journey from the Soleil Laurel Canyon clubhouse down Laurel Canyon Parkway and back, to honor the memory of Soleil residents who have passed while raising money for the Angel House of North Georgia.

When the perennials begin to blossom in the springtime, resident Helen Ford loves taking in the view of the Soleil Laurel Canyon community garden and clubhouse from her balcony.

Ford has a hand — and two green thumbs — in keeping the garden beautiful as she’s co-chair and co-founder of the Soleil Garden Club.
