DESIGN: It was the understanding that Caylee's favorite character was Winnie the Pooh. Inspiration for the design was found in the context of the Winnie the Pooh story. Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin would adventure in a wooded area of London called Ashdown Forest, known as "Hundred Aker Woods". Hundred Aker Woods is the fictional land inhabited by Winnie the Pooh and his friends in the series of children's stories, Winnie the Pooh, written by author A. A. Milne.
The young boy Christopher Robin accompanies Pooh and his friends on regular visits to the wooded area during many make-believe adventures. During these adventures places such as Poohsticks Bridge, Big Stones and Rox And Stream and Six Pine Trees were visited. The natural amenities of the memorial site created an opportunity to mimic and integrate the sequence of environmental spaces as seen in the woods of Winnie the Pooh.
