BONNIE (BUEHNER) LADINA: July 16, 1966 – September 26, 2018
It brings our family deep sorrow to share the loss of our sweet Bonnie on Wednesday, September 26th, 2018. After a multi-year battle with cancer, Bonnie passed away peacefully in her sleep. We are deeply touched by the genuine kindness and outpouring support our family has received as we quietly navigate through our grieving process.
Bonnie’s beautiful life will be beautifully remembered in a more formal, yet casual, Celebration of Life to take place in the spring of 2019.
For now, with strong memories of a love so well shared, remember the happy times, raise a glass of cheer, eat a cone of ice cream, dance to your favorite tune, embrace your loved ones and scatter your smile and kindness wherever you go in her memory…
Your kind donations may be made in her honor through: Pelotonia (pelotonia.org
), Helping Hands in the Garden(hhinthegarden.org) or The Harmony Project(harmonyproject.com).

We are very saddened by the loss of our dear friend and volunteer, Bonnie Ladina. She is the second from the left in the photo. Even while receiving treatment, she worked in the gardens of others always with a smile.
In this photo is another volunteer, Judy Pollock, whom we lost in 2017. She always had her headband with her and infectious laugh. We miss these gorgeous, generous women who have definitely given our lives happiness and love. |
Helping Hands in the Garden is a volunteer organization founded with the intent to aid cancer patients during their treatment, when the comfort of a living environment will complement their medical treatment and recovery. Removing the stress of worrying about how a beloved garden will be cared for during a difficult treatment course also buoys spirits and aids recovery.

Created in 2009, Helping Hands in the Garden supports cancer patients during their treatment with the care of their gardens. Cancer patients have many concerns - they and their families do not need to worry about their gardens when there are dedicated volunteers willing to lend a hand. With over 25 volunteers, we have assisted 91 families with their gardens since 2009. Our volunteers include a team of dedicated landscape industry leaders working with landscape students, people who love to weed, and cancer survivors. We have been richly rewarded by our many experiences.
Helping Hands in the Garden has established several ongoing programs to further its mission. The core effort is of course the garden care that is provided for cancer patients. To support this core mission, we have developed several support programs, including fundraisers, volunteer continuing education, and workshops. Through educational training and enrichment programs, we are promoting the therapeutic benefits of gardening to the participant and community.
