NHS Heartlands Hospital - Bereavement Garden
About the project:
The garden at Heartlands Hospital near to Birmingham in the West Midlands is located next to the hospitals Maternity building. It will provide a calm, quite and safe place for bereaved families to make use of as part of services provided by the Eden Bereavement Suite. The garden was made possible through a partnership with University Hospitals Birmingham Charity.
Designed to be a private and peaceful space for parents to use in times of need the garden has two small covered seating areas surrounded by trees and plants to create a calm and quiet atmosphere. The central path includes a sphere sculpture as a focal point with the sculptural leaves designed as a reminder of the rhythms and cycles of nature.
The garden is now being used as part of the care package offered by the Eden Bereavement Suite.
