New Extended Garden of Remembrance

After nearly 3 years in the planning and 3 months of work we are delighted to announce that the new extended Garden of Remembrance and Storage facility is now complete.

The wild flower gardens are established and the planting is complete, as the seasons unfold the garden will flourish, with the planting design giving us endless displays of plants shrubs and grasses.

Each of the trees has an uplighter that provides illumination at night, and the benches where appropriate have backrests. 

It is our intention to not cut the wild flower gardens as this will destroy the grasses and plants, but to make the gardens look cared for we will mow a strip across the front edge of each area and a larger strip across the middle of the old garden of remembrance to allow access to lay flowers near the stone monument.

In the centre of the new part of the garden is a millstone, this will be the focal point for laying flowers in this area.
