While Elvis had been away, construction had begun on the Meditation Garden located just beyond the swimming pool. It
has been designed with the Self-Realisation Park in Pacific Palisades in mind, with stained-glass panels, Italian marble
statues, and a fountain with fourteen different sprays and underwater light formations designed and commissioned by Marty Lacker's sister and brother-in-law, Ann and Bernie Grenadier. Work would not be fully completed on the Garden until the end of the year, at a cost of $21,000.
