About the Abe & Louise Jaramillo Garden of Hope:  After settling in Las Vegas in 1942, Abe and Louise Jaramillo saw the possibilities of making a paradise in the barren desert.  Their lawn and garden/landscaping companies were instrumental in the landscaping of numerous hotels, malls, highways, CCSD schools and UNLV.  Unfortunately, between 2001 and 2007, the Jaramillo family experienced the loss of seven family members to cancer.  As a result, the Jaramillo family has partnered with Nevada Cancer Institute (NVCI) in Las Vegas to design and install the Abe & Louise Jaramillo Garden of Hope. Their goal is to provide a place of peace, healing, comfort and new hopeful memories for cancer patients, their families and NVCI staff.   The Garden of Hope is planned for 3,500 square feet with an estimated completion date of January 2009.
