The Birmingham based charity Edwards Trust has commissioned Hannah Genders to produce a very special garden for them at the new National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire.

Edwards Trust provides a counselling and support service for children and adults struggling to cope with childhood illness and loss.

The garden will be part of the 150 acre site in Staffordshire dedicated to remembrance and needs to be a fitting memorial to the charities work.

Description
As a sign of hope and ongoing life a central tree will ‘grow’ trees as leaves are added. The leaves, made of copper will contain the names of children who have died and sitting around the central area will be peaceful and full of scent
Small woodlands will surround the garden with drifts of naturalised bulbs and flowers.
