Thinking of a name for the Leonard Cohen Memorial Garden at Lissadell, love to have suggestions based on his music

'Come Healing Gardens'
'Passing Through Gardens'
'Swimming Moon Gardens'
'Leonard Cohen Memorial Garden'
not the greatest ideas but curious if others have some...I just looked at the Lissadell House site on Facebook and they have some good ones. An especially beautiful one is Poet's Corner.

Re: Lissadell House seeks help naming Cohen Garden
in one of leonard's songs he sings 'myself, i long for love and light', so why not give him just that: a garden of love and light.

Re: Lissadell House seeks help naming Cohen Garden
I like this one, too. "A Garden of Love and Light." It will be hard for them to pick the best name for it.
Re: Lissadell House seeks help naming Cohen Garden
Some good answers!
What about “The Leaf Of Life Garden” or “Leaves Of Life Garden” relating to a verse from the song Sisters Of Mercy.
“If your life is a leaf that the seasons tear off and condemn
they will bind you with love that is graceful and green as a stem.”
Also taking note of the fact that the tree planted for Leonard is a Canadian maple which seasonally replaces its leaves in accordance with the eternal cycle of life itself.
Maybe the recognizable recitation “A Thousand Kisses Deep”, which are symbolically below in the branching roots of the tree.
Some different simple thoughts: “Cohen’s Corner” or Leonard’s Place” or Leonard’s Way”.

This was tweeted by Linda Barnard @barnardfilm today
At Lissadell, the legendary house near Sligo in the wild coastal region that inspired the great poet, Yeats, there’s almost a cult of #LeonardCohen, who played there in 2010 in tribute to the great Irish writer who inspired him. #leonardcohen #satwinireland #OnlyInIreland
